As a Queue Observer at WIYN observatory under AURA and NOIRLab, I operate NEID spectrometer and the Port Adapter for taking astronomical data, perform troubleshooting and provide documentation and detailed logging and reporting of nighttime activities.

Texas, United States

As a tutor, I was responsible for teaching physics, astronomy and astrophysics concepts and help students with their homework and projects. Most of my students were in college and high school.

California, United States

As an instructional student assistant, I was supposed to grade students from different classes and provide active feedback on their assignments. I have been an ISA for 13 classes in total (approximately 450+ students) with 7 distinct classes to challenge myself to revise and have a nice grip on all the basic physics concepts that we usually don’t come across in graduate-level courses. I learned how to provide active feedback promptly and hence developed time management skills.

California, United States

As a graduate teaching associate, I was responsible for preparing and holding lab sections in my university. I have got both in-person and online teaching experience during the pandemic. Most of my students were not physics majors so I have structured my lecture presentation and the experiments in such a way so that they learn the concept without being bored. I usually have interplay between theory and practical portion of the lab along with some quizzes and everyday relevant examples.I have taught almost 139 students coming from diverse cultures and backgrounds and have different majors. I have taught 6 physics labs in total with 3 distinct labs enhancing myself with the experience of teaching different courses.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

As a senior supervisor, my duties were to communicate with customers and workers to manage a smooth-flowing production line. I was also designing prototypes for the production in AutoCAD for ensuring the proper cost of the Mild steel materials along with reducing the material wastage. I was also responsible for data entries of orders and keeping track of their production on time.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

As a junior supervisor, I was learning the strategies to manage workload and production lines from my senior. I was repairing the electrical components of the plasma cutting machine and focusing on the quality of the material. Ensuring safety measures in the workshop was also one of my prime duties. I was also trained to operate lathe machines, drill machines and flame cutting machines so that I can later supervise workers and teach them how to use them efficiently. Operating such machines help me understand the function of that machine better which guided me to repair them whenever required.
