• Develop an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based discharging circuit. We use the circuit to heat up electrical ribbons to 800 °C in 10 microsecond and generate dense metallic vapor.
• Develop a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) control system. We use the circuit to independently discharge 480 magnetic coils which control the motion of atoms.
• Work as a project leader and collaborated with group members with diverse backgrounds.
• Supervise multiple graduate students in a team project.

• Implemented a high resolution imaging system. I independently set up an imaging system and characterize the modulation transfer function. Through the optimization process, the imaging system can have 1 micron.
• Developed the technique of laser modulation. I independently design an optoelectronic system to phase modulate an optical standing wave. The method allows us to engineer the atomic excitation spectrum.
• Developed the technique of projection Bragg spectroscopy. I collaborate with colleagues to create an optical projection system with digital micromirror device. We create dynamic optical pattern for measuring the atomic.
• Supervised summer research projects of two interns. Trained two graduate students in the operation of experimental apparatus.
