Research Experience


Ultrashort Laser Pulses propagating through Water
May ••••• July •••••
Institute of Quantum Studies
Department of Physics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
Reference: Prof. Alexei Sokolov and Prof. George Kattawar
Description: I performed experimental study on propagation of ultrashort (7fs & •••••fs) laser pulses in water. I designed a water cell with a telescopic arm to be used in the experiment, and I led weekly presentations on updates to our research group.

Minos (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillator Search)
May ••••• September •••••
Department of Physics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
Reference: Prof. Robert Webb and Tetteh-Larty
Description: The MINOS Experiment is a long-baseline neutrino experiment designed to observe the phenomena of neutrino oscillations, an effect which is related to neutrino mass. I spent a summer as research assistant working on MinosSoft Software Package, ROOT and C••••• which focused on specific data analysis routines.

High-Power MeV Electron Beam
May ••••• September •••••
Department of Physics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
Reference: Prof. Peter McIntyre
Description: I participated in research and development of a high-power electron beam treatment system for contaminated wastewater and flue gases. This included designing, machining, and testing of various mechanical and electrical components.

Magneto-Optical Imaging of High Tc Superconductors
December ••••• May •••••
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), Tallahassee, FL
Reference: Prof. Justin Schwartz and Danko Van der Laan
Description: I applied Magneto-Optical Imaging techniques in the study of crack formations in superconducting tapes caused by applied strain. I trained and worked using the Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope.

Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)
December ••••• January •••••
High Energy Physics Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
Reference: Prof. Vaskin Hagopian and Maurizio Bertoldi
Description: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is the next generation detector for the new proton accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located near Geneva, Switzerland. The FSU/CMS group was responsible for the design and construction of both the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and hadron calorimeter (HCAL). I participated in intensive research and development of fiber optical bundles and applications for calibration purposes. This included termination of quartz and plastic optical fiber cables ranging in•••••m in diameter and 4 meters in length.

SUSY (Super Symmetric Particles Simulations)
August ••••• April •••••
High Energy Physics Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
Reference: Prof. Harrison Proper
Description: Focusing on SO(•••••) theory, I used the simplified simulation package SHW which provides a parameterized easy-to-use detector simulation to mimic average D0/CDF Run II performance at Fermilab. The use of ISAJET and PYTHIA was applied.

Hellaz
March••••• January •••••
High Energy Physics Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
Reference: Prof. Harrison Proper, ••••• and Maurizio Bertoldi
Description: Hellaz is a solar neutrino experiment, which consists of a high-pressure, low temperature Time Projection Chamber containing ••••• tons of Helium. My participation was in the designing and extensive R&D process of a much smaller scale prototype.
