  • Sep 2010 - May 2017

  I was involved in the operation of spectrometers capable of spectroscopic measurements of molecules in the gas phase. A focus was placed on small metal containing molecules, both neutral and ionic. While completing my academic requirements, I was tasked with the responsibilities of both independent and collaborative research, the preparation of original manuscripts to be submitted for publication in peer reviewed journals, and the presentation of research material at international symposia. The principle work of my dissertation involved the design, construction, and operation of a photoelectron velocity - map imaging spectrometer. The main skills acquired from this work include: use of pulsed dye lasers, YAG lasers, and excimer lasers (spanning from IR to near VUV), ultra-high vacuum experience, laser ablation of metal and non-metal targets, design, construction, and use of ion optics en vacuo, time of flight mass spectrometry, and velocity - map imaging spectroscopy.Software: 3D CAD SolidWorks, electric potential simulator SIMION, LabVIEW.
