Research towards improving existing sensor technology. Gathering data and using experiments to prove the efficacy of proposed technological advances. Responsibilities include:- Design, build and perform experiments with the aim of improving distributed sensor technology- Keep up-to-date with the latest developments in the field- Ongoing professional development: taking courses and learning new topics where necessary- Regularly report progress to colleagues- Report writing of completed projects- Laboratory tours for visitors- Mathematical modelling of complex optical systems- Collaborating with colleagues, including sharing recently learnt physics- Training colleagues- Laser safety officer

Working in the Ion-trap cavity QED and Molecular physics (ITCM) group.My main responsibility was to conduct scientific research, which consisted of the bullet points listed below. I also had teaching assistant roles within the department taking on both classroom-based and laboratory courses; this also included marking and feedback to students. My research role included:- Conceiving, planning, and implementing cutting edge experiments in atomic and molecular physics.- Writing up papers for peer-reviewed publication.- Research and price negotiation of large equipment purchases and managing laboratory consumable supplies.- Attendance of and presenting at international conferences. Visits to collaborating laboratories and meetings with collaborators. Hosting laboratory tours for fellow researchers and visiting professors.- Assembly and maintenance of complicated experiments consisting of laser systems, ultra-high vacuum systems and home-built electronics. Interfacing these systems and computer programming for control via PC.- General lab duties such as cleaning and following health and safety protocols.- Liaising with engineers from different backgrounds to design, build and repair specialist equipment.- Managing a small team of PhD and undergraduate students. Providing training on equipment and passing on knowledge. Providing help and support within my laboratory and the wider group. - Interviewing potential candidates for PhD positions and Post-doctoral positions within the lab.- Remaining informed of the latest developments within the field by reading the latest scientific literature and conference attendance.- Outreach to the general public consisting of laboratory tours for school children. Organised visit from local MP Caroline Lucas (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/read/40783).

Taught courses in Thermal & Statistical physics, Data Acquisition & Analysis, Lasers & Optics, and Undergraduate Laboratory 1 & 2. Checked students understanding and progress, went over common mistakes on the board, provided marking & feedback.

- Campus and departmental tours for prospective students & their parents, giving information about the available physics courses, the department and University, and living as a student in Brighton. Provided tea and informal friendly chats.- Tours of my Research Laboratory for prospective students & their parents, and also for outreach for GCSE and A-level students. Thoroughly enjoyed using creative methods to maximise engagement.

Laboratory demonstrator at the International Summer School, leading four groups of six students in each session. Introduced the experiment and checked on students progress throughout the session, making sure a good all-round understanding was formed. Marked lab work and provided detailed feedback to aid improvement. Provided termly student reports.
