Physics Projects
As part of my academic journey, I have conducted a series of hands-on experiments in my experimental physics class, focusing on the analysis and interpretation of complex scientific data. These experiments involved setting up and performing laboratory tests on topics such as thermodynamics, muon physics, and electronics. Each report demonstrates my ability to clean, transform, and analyze experimental data to draw meaningful conclusions.
The reports cover:
- Thermodynamics - Heat Transfer: This experiment explored the principles of heat transfer, using temperature measurements to determine the thermal conductivity of different materials. I utilized data cleaning and analysis techniques to ensure precision in results, culminating in a thorough discussion of energy efficiency and material properties.
- Muon Physics and Decay: In this lab, I measured the lifetime of muons using scintillation detectors and photomultipliers. By applying both theoretical physics concepts and data analysis skills, I calculated the expected muon decay time, integrated real-world measurements, and applied statistical techniques to evaluate experimental uncertainties.
- Electronics - Voltage and Current Behavior: This experiment examined the behavior of circuits under varying voltage and current conditions. Data collected from the experiment was cleaned and processed to create insightful visualizations, helping to understand fundamental electronic components and their interactions.
Each report showcases my proficiency in experimental design, data collection, cleaning, transformation, and analysis—skills that I am eager to apply as I transition into a career in data analysis. Through these projects, I have developed a keen understanding of the importance of accuracy, problem-solving, and clear communication, which are essential skills for analyzing complex datasets in any field.
