The Academic Affairs Committee aims to make physics more relevant among the members and the general public. It mainly initiate activities focused on the improvement of the academic status of membersand the student body, especially in physics.

An apprenticeship under the advisership of Dr. Marvin M. Flores involving participation in a workshop developed by his PhD students, focusing on essential tools in high-energy physics (HEP), including PYTHIA, MadGraph, RIVET, HepMC, ROOT, and CheckMATE.During this apprenticeship, I worked on simulations and analyses of proton-proton collisions, studying top-antitop quark pair production and electron-positron pair production. I also deepened my knowledge of particle physics by reading "The Ideas of Particle Physics" by James E. Dodd and Ben Gripaios.This hands-on experience enhanced my technical skills in event generation, data analysis, and high-energy physics theory. The code and analysis on the proton-proton collisions can be found at my github link: https://github.com/sherkaicode/HepPh_Midyear
