Work Experience
Postdoctoral Researcher
Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland
- Supervised a PhD student in his research work. He was working on the preparation of a super radiant source of strontium (Sr) atoms. I helped and supervised him in identifying the issues in his setup so he could solve them promptly.
- Optimized the laser system and employed frequency doubling stages to generate a 390 nm laser for the setup.
- Prepared the optical setup for laser cooling and trapping of strontium (Sr) atoms. I detected the leak in the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) setup and managed the design of anti-Helmholtz coils.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers Atomes et Molécules (PhLAM), University of Lille, France
- Started work on several experiments with a few problems, including optimization of laser systems, UHV, and anti-Helmholtz coils. I fixed all these problems in a very short time.
- Generated the MOT for cesium (Cs) and started to optimize the experiment.
- Revisited the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck model and made corrections.
