- Prepare and maintain testing platforms, program flight controllers and hardware components - Develop testing procedures for clients, perform test flight campaigns and analyze the performance of our AI control algorithms

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

- Responsible for testing the beamline physics model accuracy and building a Machine Learning model from the simulated data- Calibrate the Machine Learning model with a limited measured data set

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

- Constructed a model of the Quantum Materials Spectroscopy Center beamline using X-Ray Tracing software in Python for generating simulated data sets- Identified and corrected for technical errors found in internal documents and industrial specification sheets

Canada

- Continued with Machine Learning research as an extension of the Summer Studentship- Successfully built a Machine Learning model of an Elliptically Polarizing Undulator and applied transfer learning techniques to calibrate the model to measured data

Saskatoon

- Implemented a machine learning-based model of the elliptically polarizing undulator to map the input configuration space to the polarization state of the radiation produced- Improved undulator simulation software by implementing new functions and computationally efficient scripts for iteratively solving insertion device simulations- Mastered the use of industry software, Tensor Core, while generating data sets containing over 10 000 cases- Studied and compared the performance of Gaussian Process and Artificial Neural Network models with emphasis on building models from a limited set of measured data
