1 Research experience
Neutron spectrum unfolding suite developer (using Neural Networks) Jun—Sep
2019
- Developed a novel approach to the long-standing problem of inferring the neutron
spectrum in a mathematically underdetermined system.
- Collaborated with other programmers on the same repository using Git.
- Developed and optimized a Neural Network using Google’s TensorFlow framework, which
is then incorporated into the unfolding suite along with the appropriate documentations.
Nuclear Physics Laboratory Oct—Dec 2019, Oct—Dec
2018
- Identified unknown elements using neutron activation analysis and gamma spectroscopy
using a High Purity Germanium detector.
- Measured the neutron flux in neutron bath using a BF3 detector.
- Analysed the results using Pythons numerical processing capability; and then visualized
them graphically via Python as well.
Summer Physics internship, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of BirminghamJul—Aug
2018
- Worked on a group project to produce a working prototype of a radiation detection drone.
- Gained relevant specialist knowledge about the workings of cyclotron, GPS and radiation
detector, as well as radiation protection procedures.
Fusor Group Project, University of Birmingham Oct 2015—Sep
2019
- Recruited as part of Fusor Project team, following from an interview selection process.
- Worked with 7 other more senior students to build a Farsworth nuclear fusor.
- Successfully applied for a grant of £2800 on behalf of the group to cover the cost of the
power supply.
