Work with me! :)
I'm recruiting enthusiastic students to explore the world of gravitational waves with me!
Please feel free to ask any questions & let me know if you're interested in any of the available projects. :)

TEM
atmoic structure characterization
Investigate atomic structure of potential A+LIGO coating materials utilizing electron diffraction patterns from TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope).
Benefits: TEM training can add a very attractive skill to your CV wherever you go; academia or industry! If you're interested, I'll also try to find a way to give you more exposure in FIB (Focused Ion Beam) which can make TEM samples.
software
Analysis software design
Develop an analysis software that can efficiently convert electron diffraction data from TEM, process the data (masking, finding center, etc), analyze the data to get PDF (pair distribution function).
Requirements: This is a physics research project that computer-side skills are heavily required. The student should be comfortable designing software.
Benefits: Paper publication is guaranteed once the software is developed!
LIGO
Fellowship program
Spend 3 months ~ 1 year in one of the US's LIGO sites (Washington or Louisiana), learning detector characterization and data analysis skills.
Requirements: Only for PhD-level students. The student should have good English language skills, and should be able to drive in the US.
Benefits: This is a great opportunity to experience detector science, plus up to 1 year of study-abroad equivalent chance!
