Profile Summary

PhD Plasma Physicist with 6+ years of hands-on experience in low-temperature plasmas, RF/microwave systems, plasma diagnostics, and numerical modeling. Currently working as a Plasma Scientist in electric propulsion at Orbitt Space, designing and characterizing RF gridded ion thrusters. My expertise spans ECR and inductively coupled plasmas, full-wave simulations (MEEP), and PIC simulations (Vsim, Smilei). I have contributed to fusion research at the ITER Organization (France), conducting full-wave simulations for TCV, ASDEX-U, JT60SA, and ITER — giving me rare exposure to both fundamental research and applied industry problems. I offer consulting and freelance services in: • Plasma simulation & modeling (COMSOL, MEEP, PIC codes) • Plasma diagnostics design (Langmuir probes, B-dot probes, spectroscopy) • RF/microwave plasma systems • Space propulsion (ion thruster R&D) • Scientific writing & peer-reviewed publication support Published in IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science and presented at international conferences including EPS and AAPPS-DPP. Qualified NET-JRF and GATE in Physics. Available for short-term consulting, simulation projects, technical writing, and collaborative research.
