Currently in the first year of my PhD program, exploringSilicon technology used for tracking applications in High

Energy particle Physics experiments.

Relevant ExperienceLawrence Berkeley Na onal Lab., California Aug. 2014 — PresentPost-bac research fellow

– Prepared samples for a test beam to study high eta trackers.– Preliminary architecture studies for LHC Phase-II readout chip.

The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Sept. 2013 — Mar. 2014MPhys student

– Design & commissioning of novel Transient Current Technique setup– 70 MeV proton irradiation at KeK of MCz and DOFZ Silicon diodes, with

bothdiodesevaluated for radiationhardnessat variousfluencesusingTCTand CV/IV.

Cern, Switzerland June 2013 — Sept. 2013Summer student
