Senior Research Assistant • CEMS Applied Physics Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh
Feb 2016 - Jan 2017
The job responsibility involves operating advanced nanomaterial characterization instruments, such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), to analyze and collect data on material properties. This includes preparing samples, running experiments, and using specialized software to interpret the results. The role requires maintaining detailed records of experiments, ensuring the accuracy and quality of data, and troubleshooting any issues with the instruments.
Project Assistant • Department of Physics Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh
May 2014 - Feb 2016
The job responsibility involves the fabrication of a Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), a type of gas detector used in particle detection experiments. This includes constructing the RPC, which typically consists of parallel resistive plates separated by a gas-filled gap. The role also involves designing and developing a front-end electronics system that can efficiently collect and process the data generated by the RPC. This system manages signal amplification, filtering, and digitization to ensure accurate data acquisition. The position requires a strong understanding of both the physical construction of the gas detector and the electronics required to interface with it, supporting high-quality data collection for research or monitoring purposes.
