Graduate Teaching Assistant

• Jan 2021 - May 2021

Performed TA duties for an introductory course in physics for students of the life sciences. Work involved conducting weekly hour-long sessions for teaching an extended problem and hosting lab sessions to facilitate their learning process in key areas of physics such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electrostatics and optics with a focus on biological applications.

Bachelor Thesis

• Aug 2019 - Mar 2020

Worked with Prof. Sivarama Krishnan's research group on exploring the Gouy phase shift of a Gaussian laser beam, studying ionization processes of nitrogen and argon clusters with intense femtosecond light pulses and time-of-flight spectrometry, as part of a bachelor thesis project titled 'Intense NIR laser-matter interaction in nanoscale systems' for graduation requirements at IITM.

Summer Research Intern

• May 2018 - Jul 2018

Worked with Prof. Randolf Pohl's research group on implementing a set-up to characterize a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor of a camera, which was then used to perform absorption imaging of lithium atom clouds in a magneto-optical trap.
