Design and implementation of a testbed for bolometric detectors and RF componentsDesigned vacuum and cryogenic systems for testing electrical and optical performance of detector modules housing 2000+ detectors using frequency-division multiplexing technology.Installed and verified performance of cryogenic and room-temperature RF electronic components spanning the 4-8 GHz frequency range. Components included low-noise amplifiers, coaxial cables, attenuators, circulators, DC blocks, and RF switches.Generated comprehensive CAD models and precise technical drawings for intricate mechanical and optical systems. Designed and fabricated optical coupling systems for experimental test equipment.Integration, Testing, and Validation of the Simons Observatory Small Aperture TelescopeInstalled major mechanical and electrical subsystems into the cryogenic camera and validated their performance to meet established requirements from systems engineering teams.Executed experimental tests to validate cryogenic, electrical, and optical performance of the first-light instrument and device and detector modules.Conducted statistical analysis and signal processing on large, time-ordered datasets of over 10,000 modulated detectors.Software Development Developed instrument control libraries for hardware components like stepper motors, power supplies, Labjacks, serial device servers, resistance bridges, and RF detector devices.Built and maintained SQL databases to organize and process time-ordered data and metadata.Contributed to substantial code development initiatives on GitHub, engaging in collaborative efforts and contributing to the enhancement of open-source projects.Project Management and Collaboration ExperienceCollaborated with local research group and international peers to coordinate experimental plans, data analysis, and high-level validation plans.Prepared materials for systems engineering reviews and delivered presentations on research findings.
