Accurate timing is crucial for data transfer over the internet, all industries, science and everything from GPS to financial trading. I'm currently optimizing the performance and operation of new Atomic clocks (Atomic spectroscopy) both experimentally, and with new control and analysis software. I've combined my skills in optics, spectroscopy, RF, cavities, quantum mechanics, signal analysis and electronics to deliver these complex instruments. They are 30 billion times more accurate than your watch!Assembling and optimising systems for new atomic clocks. Optimising both free space and fibre optics. Improving magneto optical traps, validating the detection systems and troubleshooting other systems.Created monitoring and control software (C/Python/Git). Developed and tested software to monitor, compute and apply systematic corrections for remote labs.Upgraded and validated microwave synthesisers. Modified PCB layout, soldered SMDs and improved output power and quality to within system requirements. Then integrated the hardware and wrote supporting documentation.Ensuring standards and regulations are met at all times. Maintaining record of safety procedures and documentation for the labs.

At CERN I led efforts to maximize particle beam intensity. Greater intensity leads to more collisions, more data and more chances of scientific breakthroughs. I worked in many functions related to the interaction of the particle beams and the RF cavities which accelerate them. Firstly, I focused on studying instabilities. These cause the particle beam to become uncontrollable and put limits on accelerator performance. I built monitoring, control and live analysis tools in Python to collect data from, and interact with, the large numbers of remote systems at CERN.I controlled the accelerators and managed the experiments from the CERN Control Centre, collaborating with the accelerator operators. I acquired and analyzed large amounts of signal data. I processed this via using novel Fourier analysis and simulation methods (C/Python/Linux). Collaborating with other teams, we studied root causes of the instabilities, and developed designs to mitigate them.To reduce losses occurring between accelerators I developed and integrated new hardware and designed tools (C/Python) and systems to gather data and analyze and minimize power losses. The tools monitor the accelerators and combine live data with simulations and algorithms to predict losses, enabling the identification and minimisation of contributing sources. I coordinated, managed and monitored projects efficiently, involving numerous actors. troubleshooted technical problems, organized experiments, diagnosed issues and ensured high quality data collection from numerous devices. I found creative solutions to problems which arose and met key targets and deliverables, reducing losses in the accelerators by up to 4%. I communicated my methods, results and work regularly within CERN and to collaborators via preparing technical reports, discussions, presentations and articles. I attended conferences (IPAC23 etc) and published 3 research articles.

Characterising prototype silicon photonic integrated circuits(PICs) for Quantum key distribution (QKD). Devised, simulated, assembled, conducted multiple experiments and analysed data to test and characterise transmitter and receiver chips for QKD. Devised a solution to characterise on-chip asymmetric silicon Mach-Zender interferometers and their temperature dependencies. Characterised the components with two existing methods and developed a more precise alternative, combining laser frequency scans, simulation and labview control.Developed simulations of optical transmission to prototype experiments and to analyse data via minimising disagreement with data. Characterised optical losses and thermal stability of the PICs and systems and their relationship. Tested and characterised detectors and interference strength dependencies.Experiments required an array of optics equipment including: Optical elements, wavelength tunable lasers, single-photon sources, photon detectors, oscilloscopes, fibres, PID temperature controllers, spectrum analysers and arbitrary wave function generators. I created LabVIEW code to acquire data and control optical hardware.

The role was to aid customers, maintain and improve store layout and ensure the smooth store operation. This involved organisational ability, prioritisation, communication with both customers and staff and a keen eye for detail. I helped implement new layouts to improve customer experience, which resulted in increased sales. I worked as a team member and went beyond my job description; for example, often staying late to assist colleagues.
