Within a team, we developed and implemented a Plasma-Surface Interactions course to be delivered to first year Ph.D. students as part of the Fusion Doctoral Training Network. The course consisted of a series of lectures, problem class assignments and experimental laboratory sessions.Responsibilities included:- Preparing lecture notes and laboratory experimental scripts- Writing, delivering and marking short quiz assignments- Lab demonstration for experimental investigations related to plasma-surface interactions

York, Gb

Assisted the laboratory director by guiding the attending postgraduate students with their experiments and data analysis. The laboratory sessions primarily included analyses of data obtained by plasma diagnostics that were applied to high-temperature fusion plasmas in both magnetic and inertial confinement fusion devices.Responsibilities included:- Helping students with the understanding of the underlying physical principles- Familiarising students with the data analysis tools (Matlab, OriginPro, Excel and IgorPro)- Marking and evaluating student laboratory note books

York, Gb

Designed and built a direct current (dc) glow discharge tube and a single Langmuir probe, using the probe to investigate plasma properties under different conditions. Spatially-resolved plasma densities and temperatures were measured for a variety of discharge configurations.
