Ghulam Yaseen
- Masters Student
- University of Western Australia
As a former research assistant, I have had the privilege of gaining hands-on experience and developing valuable skills that have prepared me for my upcoming journey as a PhD student at OzGrav.
One of the highlights of my research experience was my involvement in a project focused on the numerical analysis of Highly Non-Linear & Ultra-Sensitive Photonic Crystal Fiber Sensors. This project challenged me to apply my expertise in simulation techniques, particularly the full vector finite element method (FEM) and software like COMSOL Multiphysics, to analyze and optimize sensor designs. The successful outcomes of this research, including the publication of our findings in JOSAB, underscored my ability to contribute meaningfully to scientific advancements.
Additionally, my time as a research assistant provided me with valuable exposure to experimental techniques and data analysis methodologies, particularly in the realm of photonic crystal fiber sensors and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based sensors. This practical experience complemented my theoretical understanding and further honed my research skills, preparing me for the challenges that lie ahead in my PhD studies at OzGrav.
Moreover, my strong communication and collaboration skills, cultivated through working in multidisciplinary research environments, have equipped me with the ability to effectively collaborate with diverse teams and communicate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences. I am confident that these skills, combined with my passion for research and dedication to academic excellence, will enable me to make significant contributions to OzGrav’s mission of advancing knowledge in gravitational wave science.
