Study on timing and spatial resolution of GPS units for coincidence
measurements off-line. This may lead to a publication.
Development of a new instrument on multi-channel optical power
measurement with data logging capability for fiber optics studies. This work
will develop an instrument that is not available on the market.
Study on an optical readout scheme of the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)
device. This work is part of our research project in a study for solar neutrinos
experiment for the US Deep Underground science and Engineering
Laboratory (DUSEL).
And there may be many others cut out from the research projects we do for
ATLAS and other experiments. Please contact me if you are interest and we
