I was SME working in the Research and Development of nuclear tools used in oil and gas well logging in both wireline and LWD. I am SME in Sealed-off Pulsed Neutron Generators PNG used in Pulsed Neutron Oil Well Logging development. This includes ion source development, beam extraction/acceleration physics, beam target physics, new target thin film development and characterization. The work utilizes both experimental as well as modeling/simulation approaches. I am using COMSOL, VSim, SRIM/TRIM, MCNP as tools in molding the PNG tube. My main goal is to improve neutron yield, tube life time/reliability and tube-to-tube variability of the company’s PNG generators.I am also expert in MCNP modeling for nuclear tools including neutron, and gamma tools

Graduate work was mainly focused in trying to understand the mechanism of generating Superthermal electrons in HSX during the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) discharges, and their confinement in different magnetic configurations. In order to achieve this goal, the Hard X-ray (HXR) emission during ECRH discharges was measured and analyzed. A detection system that fits our experimental needs based upon the following detectors was designed: Si-PIN (manufactured by Amptek), for the range 1 – 30 KeV CdZnTl (eV-280, manufactured by eVproducts), for the range 20 – 300 KeV NaI(Tl) (manufactured by Amptek), for the range 100 KeV - 2 MeVA Pulse Height Analysis system based on software (IDL program) and hardware (Amptek MCA8000) to analyze the raw data and obtain the energy spectrum of the HXR was used. Other HSX diagnostics were used in this work to better understand the dynamics of Superthermal electrons including: Thomson Scattering for measuring the electron temperature. Microwave interferometer for measuring the plasma density. Diamagnetic Flux Loop for measuring the stored energy. Soft X-ray array to measure the soft x-ray emission. Electron Cyclotron Emission to measure thermal and nonthermal electron Cyclotron Emission during the discharge. Microwave diodes for measuring the microwave power. The GENRAY code was used for ray tracing calculations and microwave power deposition, while the CQL3D Fokker-Planck code was used to calculate Superthermal electrons distribution function and HXR spectrum at the detector location. Single Particle Stochastic Heating and Guiding Center Drift Orbits models were developed and used to verify the experimental results.
