Research Experience:
At univ:
- *Four projects - in Lasers (1)(1 semester), Fibre Optics (2) (1 year) and Chemistry (1 summer) - no publication
*One 'major' project - HEP - Algorithm development (incomplete) (Bachelor's Thesis) (1 year) - Invited for poster presentation at UCLA CDMP/ CMSO winter school / Invited to ALICE as part of team - no publication
- *Summer Internship - AMO
*Continuing work now - AMO
*No publication
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: TA for a Physics Course
Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: (possibly for Applied Physics) - Failed startup (but an effort in the Indian business environment is almost unheard of for a UG, here)
Special Bonus Points: Plenty of Grad courses - 6 Phy grad courses, 6 Maths grad courses, 25 normal physics courses + those in this semester (2 Phy grad + 1 Math grad + 1 normal Phy)
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: 'CC' grade (6/10) in Quantum Mechanics 2; and Introductory Nuclear and Particle Physics - but everyone got that grade in the course
