Plasma Physicist | Signal Processing (MATLAB/Python) | Scientific Data Analysis Expert

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained physicist currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at UCLA, specializing in plasma diagnostics, signal processing, and advanced data analysis using MATLAB and Python. My expertise lies in analyzing complex experimental data from mm-wave diagnostics, Doppler backscattering systems, and high-frequency plasma measurements. I have extensive experience in FFT analysis, spectral estimation, time-frequency analysis, and extracting physical insights from noisy signals. In addition to experimental work, I develop computational models and simulations, and create high-quality, publication-ready figures suitable for journals such as PRL and Nature-family publications. I can help with: • Scientific data analysis (MATLAB/Python) • Signal processing (FFT, filtering, spectrograms, coherence analysis) • Research support and consulting (physics, optics, plasma science) • Machine learning applications in scientific data • LaTeX formatting and manuscript preparation • High-quality visualization and figure design I am highly detail-oriented, responsive, and committed to delivering accurate and reproducible results.
