About
I am an Electrical Engineer by training, with PhD in Diamond Electronics (Devices, Nanofabrication, Charge transport, Valleytronics and Quantum) from Uppsala University, Sweden. Later, continued with Post doctoral research Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago. Here I gained experience working with growing diamond films using microwave plasma CVD, integration of 2D materials with diamond and few other heterojunction devices. Having moved to industry, at both Euclid Techlabs (for 2 years) and Akhan Semiconductor (during the last 5 years), I have gained experience working with several aspects of semiconductor materials and thin films research ranging from heterojunction diodes, field emission studies, H-terminated FETs, diamond optical wave guides & components for photonics, protective coatings for display glass & several transparent substrates, NV centers for quantum information studies, and a few defense applications, to name a few. Also, prior to my Doctoral studies, I have worked with Swedish Institute for Space Physics, incorporating nanotechnologies for antennas, EM field sensors etc., for space applications onboard satellites.

About
I am a dedicated Physicist with a strong background in theoretical and experimental physics, specializing in areas such as quantum mechanics, particle physics, and low temperature physics. Demonstrated ability to conduct complex research, analyze data, and draw accurate conclusions. Skilled in mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and problem-solving. Experienced in collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve research goals and contribute to scientific advancements. Seeking to leverage my expertise and passion for physics to make significant contributions to innovative projects and further expand knowledge in the field. There are my latest achievements: ·        **Designed a vertical septum magnet for the APS-U** I intruded a novel concept to cancel the leakage field of a vertical septum magnet and designed the DC septum magnet for the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) project. We have built the septum magnet and measured its field and found that the septum magnet cancels any leakage field. ·        **I introduced an advanced design structure to the hybrid permanent magnet (HPPM) undulators for the APS-U** I introduced some design skill sets for optimizing the field roll-off, increasing the field, and minimizing the demagnetization field, allowing the narrowing down of the pole width to reduce the magnetic force of HPPM undulators. With the design skill sets, all the HPPM undulators below that I designed for the APS-U have an advanced compact design structure which improves its performance and reduces the material cost of the HPPM undulators by 30%. ·        **Designed APU-U 28-mm period undulator** I designed a 28 mm period HPPM undulator for the APS-U with an advanced compact structure that provides an effective field of 8308 G at a gap of 8.5 mm with a reduced magnetic force of 30%. The measured effective field at the same gap was 9750 G, 4% higher than the design. The devices were either easy to tune or did not need to tune due to the reduced force structure of the design. Also, the measured phase error was 2-3 deg between the open and closed gaps, the smallest phase error measured at the APS. ·        **Designed APU-U 25-mm period undulator.** I designed a 25 mm period HPPM undulator for the APS-U with an advanced compact structure that provides an effective field of 8308 G at a gap of 8.5 mm with a reduced magnetic force of 30%. The measured effective field at the same gap was 8600 G, 4% higher than the design. The devices were either easy to tune or did not need to tune due to the reduced force structure of the design. Also, the measured phase error was 2-3 deg between the open and closed gaps. ·        **Designed APU-U 21-mm period undulator.** I designed a 21 mm period HPPM undulator for the APS-U with an advanced compact structure that provides an effective field of 6674 G at a gap of 8.5 mm with a reduced magnetic force of 30%. The measured effective field at the same gap was 7150 G, 7% higher than the design. The devices were either easy to tune or did not need to tune due to the reduced force structure of the design. Also, the measured phase error was 2-3 deg between the open and closed gaps. ·        **Designed APU-U 13.5-mm period undulator.** I designed a 13.5 mm period HPPM undulator for the APS-U with an advanced compact structure that provides an effective field of 3105 G at a gap of 8.5 mm with a reduced magnetic force of 30%. The measured effective field at the same gap was 3172 G, 2% higher than the design. The devices were either easy to tune or did not need to tune due to the reduced force structure of the design. Also, the measured phase error was 2-3 deg between the open and closed gaps. ·        **Designed APS 14-mm period undulator.** Designed a 14 mm period HPPM undulator for the dynamic compression sector of the current APS, with an advanced compact structure that provides an effective field of 3,364 G at a gap of 8.5 mm with a reduced magnetic force of 30%. The measured effective field at the same gap was 3504 G, 4% higher than the design. Also, the measured phase error was 0.5 - 1 deg between the open and closed gaps.
