About Me
I am currently a postdoc working in the field of experimental atomic molecular and optical (AMO) physics. I am designing a two-meter high atomic fountain in the lab of Prof. Timothy Kovachy at Northwestern University. I am also involved in the research and development efforts in the design of a 100-meter high atomic fountain at Fermi National Accelerator Lab (FNAL), a.k.a. Fermilab, as part of the MAGIS-100 collaboration. For a detailed background, please see my CV. Moreover, here’s the link to my Google Scholar page.
Background
I received my Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.) degree from McGill University in February 2011. I majored in the Honors Electrical Engineering program with a minor in Physics. After graduation I worked in Prof. Thomas Szkopek’s lab for six months as a research assistant. I have completed two projects, as part of the NSERC Undergraduate Summer Research Awards (USRAs), and my undergraduate thesis both in the Szkopek group as well.
I completed a PhD program at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) with Prof. David Hsieh as my thesis advisor. In addition to the Hsieh group, I was also a member of IQIM. In the Hsieh lab, I designed and built a high-energy resolution and low temperature ARPES setup. Besides research, I shared the responsibility of organizing the IQIM Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Seminars from 2013-2018. I also organize the “Journal Club of Condensed Matter Physics” from 2013-2015.
