Objectives

-To acquire more team-based project experience and an entry-level software

engineering position.

Relevant Experience:

. Planning Society of Physics Students meetings as President. Setting up

talks with various guests, including professors and various alumni who

are now in industry or academia.

. Github URL: https://github.com/pnamasondhi

-Python_AHRPEEGEE: text-based adventure game.

. Classical feedback controls. Experience with SISO Toolbox in Matlab.

Root-locus Method.

. C++ course offered by the Math Dept. of UCLA (Programming in Computing

10A). The course covered function usage, class creation, object/class

usage, vector and array data types, and the use of pointers.

. Matlab experience (constructing M-files to calculate plasma density,

ion temperature, and electron temperature from data recorded from

Langmuir probes) from a plasma lab class (Physics 180E).

. Biophysics lab class. Individual parts of a fluorescent microscope

were ordered from Thorlabs and various manufacturers and constructed

into a product used for the class' final report.

Work History

UCLA Particle Beam Physics Lab April 2010 -

August 2011

. Ran simulations to test the performance of an optical undulator for

use with a free-electron laser. Results

. Also constructed relevant parts in Solidworks for other experiments

. Used Mathematica to solve for the fields of a permanent-magnet

undulator.

General Atomics (La Jolla, CA) June 2010 -

August 2010

. IDL programming for an error analysis workflow made for one of the

company's plasma discharge analysis tools (GAprofiles) used to examine

DIII-D tokamak data.

. The ensemble statistics of the previous discharges were calculated

with the intention of developing a metric to be used for analysis of

future discharges. Verification and validation.

. Results were presented at the American Physical Society Division of

Plasma Physics 52nd Meeting.

Honors and Awards

. Teaching Assistantship (Introductory Physics Lab Classes)

. Princeton Plasma Physics Lab - National Undergraduate Fellowship

June 2010 - August 2010

NSF-funded research project at General Atomics.

. Undergraduate Research Scholars Program

September 2010 - June 2011

Received a $5000 scholarship supplied by the Litton Foundation

of Northrop-Grumman to carry out senior thesis project

(Performance Predictions for an Optical Undulator for Use with

an X-Ray Free Electron Laser). Results presented at UCLA

Undergraduate Science Poster Day.
