Established in 2016, the objective of the Forum for Early Career Scientists (FECS) is to enhance APS's ability to meet the needs of early career scientists, to offer them support services, and to provide them with an opportunity for increased inclusion and participation in the activities and decision-making of the physics community.

ALPhA’s mission is to support and enhance advanced experimental physics education. It does so by holding special conferences and workshops on advanced experimental instruction, planning dedicated sessions at national AAPT and APS meetings, generating funding, awarding professional prizes, and facilitating communication among advanced laboratory.

Portland, Oregon

• Taught courses across the Physics curriculum including introductory physics, electronics, modern physics, nonlinear dynamics, and advanced laboratory.
• Supervised senior thesis projects in computational and experimental fluid dynamics, pattern recognition using computational homology, and the use of traction force microscopy to study cell motility on soft substrates.
• Managed a small team of undergraduate researcher in studies of subcritical transitions to turbulence leading to student co-authored publications.
• Provided academic advising for undergraduates.

Atlanta, GA

• Designed and built test facility to study bypass scenarios for the transition turbulence in shear flows
• Developed machine vision algorithm for monitoring of flow conditions and for automated flow data collection
• Performed fundamental characterization of the effect of finite-amplitude perturbations to linearly-stable flow configurations of Taylor-Couette flow
• Used statistical analysis of experimental data to test theories of turbulence based on dynamical systems and showed that for certain flows the transitional regime is characterized by a chaotic repeller model
• Adapted tomographic particle image velocimetry for time-resolved measurements of three-dimensional flow fields in environments with mechanical noise and in the presence of significant optical distortion
• Developed visualization methods to extract turbulent structures from large three-dimensional data sets

Atlanta, GA

• Managed and supervised a team of 18 teaching assistants to deliver weekly laboratory sessions to 600+ students per semester
• Collaborated with faculty to develop laboratory experiments and computational physics projects
• Produced statistical analyses of student performance and generated reports for faculty

Greater Atlanta Area

Taught introductory laboratories and recitation sessions for Introductory Physics

Austin, Texas

• Installed and tested LabVIEW-based real-time data acquisition system and wrote control program for high-vacuum, optical, and electronic subsystems of an optical trap for rubidium atoms
• Developed an actively stabilized optical trap including a piezo-actuated adjustable optical cavity controlled using PID feedback
• Designed and fabricated a custom ultra-low-noise current supply and accompanying magnetic coils for precision magnetic biasing of trapped atoms
