Working with Dr. Robert Duncan

Testing silicon modules for the new generation of high-granularity calorimeters made by Hamamatsu for CERN and Fermilab. Maintaining the equipment | LabView HexDAQ | ZONE3 Smartscope Flash 500My work is mostly concentrated in hardware field skills. During one lab session I am conducting CV(open test), IV(contact test), and CV+IV(full test measurement), and GR Test (199 channel) in a lab part of Dr. Timo Peltola. While conducting CV, IV, IV+CV, I am also doing Imaging Tests using Smartscope Flash 500 to make detailed scans of silicon sensors surface. Each Imaging Test contains 1 frontside scan (540 images of hexagons inside), frontside_edges scan (80 images of edges), and backside scan of surface behind (540 images). All results from both measurements help to estimate efficiency/performance of new generation of sensors. This is a crucial step before making sure those sensors will be delivered and allowed to use in CERN LHC.Successfully measured last sensors in a supply for this season. HPK192 300nm. This assisted researchers to publish a paper.After sensors I will be working on Automation in the lab. This includes a work with computer networks, IoT (Raspberry Pi, Arduino), embedded systems, sensors.

Working with Prof. Vladislav V. Yakovlev on detection of groups of relatively large water clusters induced by alternating electric fields. Designed a Raman Spectroscopy setup based on 1064nm continuous SM laser converted to 532nm using BBO. ANDOR Newton was used as an imaging sensor. Additionally designed a device where water is interacting with HF electric fields. The stable output about water concentration in device was monitored using oscilloscope and reactance of device.

Optics and Digital Holographic Microscopy. Processing of Holograms obtained throughout Summer 2023 USRG. Applying ML algorithms for data augmentation and acceleration of Phase retrieval.

I had the incredible opportunity to work in the Advanced Spectroscopy Lab within the Biomedical Engineering department at Texas A&M University as a part of Undergraduate Summer Research Grant program. As part of the team, I focused on developing and implementing novel optical techniques for Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) systems. Under the mentorship of Dr. Vladislav Yakovlev and PhD Candidate Vsevolod Cheburkanov, I gained invaluable knowledge and hands-on experience in the field of advanced optics/spectroscopy and image processing. Together, we explored cutting-edge solutions to enhance medical imaging capabilities and contribute to advancements in the healthcare industry. It was an enriching experience that deepened my understanding of optical technologies and their applications in biomedicine.Eventually, I built a new QPI microscope based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and applied Blind Phase Shifting algorithms for phase information extraction. Successful designed a framework that allows to take a hologram of any cell and explore its topology and morphology in 3d space.Principal Investigator: Dr. Vladislav Yakovlev

TIRFM (total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy) for single molecule tracking (lipid reactions)Me and team @ Smith Group Lab finally finished our research on assessment of capabilities of Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy for applications such as single molecule tracking. This is a foundation of future cancer related studies.

Representing First Year class at Texas Tech University. Volunteering in Lubbock area. This is a program by First Year Engagement at Student Government Association at Texas Tech University (SGA TTU). FYC is made for exploring leadership opportunities on campus for first year students. This includes attending Senate Meeting. Overall program gives an incredible opportunity for leadership fostering and networking.

Working for Pegasus division. Assembling electric systems for RC aircraft that will take part in AIAA Design/Build/Fly (DBF)In January 2023 - February 2023, built a test-stand for brushless motor thrust measurement. Test stand was simple in assembling and setting, and could build graphs of thrust in real-time. Stand is built from steel frame with load cell and motor mounting mechanism. During the first test, stand displayed a lifting force of around 7kg on 90% thrust (100A ESC, 5000mAh battery)DBF 2023 our proposal took 1st place among all participants.

Lecturer for the course of "Electrical Engineering for Beginners"Conducted 5 weeks long course about intro to Electrical Engineering. Material taught covered topics of Trigonometry, Calculus, Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Law, Faraday's Law, Safety Rules, Arduino, and Capstone Projects. Group of Students was presenting schematics and describing principles of working.
