During extended breaks from undergraduate course work I was employed in the Optical Physics Branch of the Optical Sciences Division.I helped to implement improved automation and controls on an R&D fiber optic manufacturing setup and participated in R&D fiber optic production. I attended to routine laboratory tasks and worked on process improvement. I wrote software to control a distributed fiber optic strain sensing system and conducted radiation survivability studies on various optical… Show more During extended breaks from undergraduate course work I was employed in the Optical Physics Branch of the Optical Sciences Division.I helped to implement improved automation and controls on an R&D fiber optic manufacturing setup and participated in R&D fiber optic production. I attended to routine laboratory tasks and worked on process improvement. I wrote software to control a distributed fiber optic strain sensing system and conducted radiation survivability studies on various optical fibers with use of cobalt-60 gamma radiation source. In the course of my work I designed and constructed a variety of opto-mechnical systems. Show less
