A New Chapter

I’ve started a new chapter in my academic journey. I’m a Graduate Project Assistant and PhD student at Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria. This exciting opportunity allows me to delve deeper into the fascinating world of Raman spectroscopy and contribute to cutting-edge research.

Why Raman Spectroscopy?

My earlier research on CsCuI perovskites ignited a passion for spectroscopic techniques. Raman spectroscopy, in particular, proved to be a powerful tool for understanding the structural and vibrational properties of these materials at the nanoscale. This experience motivated me to pursue further, explore the potential of spectroscopic methods in materials science.

A Unique Opportunity

The chance to work in a world-class research team, led by renowned experts in the field, was a significant draw for me. The collaborative environment and the access to state-of-the-art facilities provide an ideal setting for research.

The Road Ahead

As a Graduate Project Assistant, I’m actively involved in Raman Spectroscopy on Metallic Surfaces project. I’m particularly excited about working on this project because it involves preparing the metal surface, manipulating the surface state and detecting the vibrational excitations that were not investigated before but with the new approach developed by our research team it is now possible.

Navigating the Challenges

Transitioning to a new research environment has presented its own set of challenges. Adapting to new lab protocols, mastering various data analysis techniques , and working in an Austrian academic environment have required effort and dedication. However, I’ve learned to approach these challenges with a positive mindset and a willingness to seek help when needed.

Effective communication has been key to overcoming obstacles and fostering a collaborative research environment. By openly discussing ideas, sharing knowledge, and seeking feedback, I’ve been able to refine my research approach and achieve significant progress.

Future Goals

I aspire to make significant contributions to the field of Raman spectroscopy through my research. I aim to publish high-impact papers in prestigious journals, present my work at international conferences, and collaborate with researchers from around the world. Ultimately, I hope to advance the understanding of metal surface and extend the limits of our current knowledge.

I’m excited to share my significant moments of my research journey with you through this blog. Stay tuned for updates on my progress, insights into the world of scientific research, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of my experiences as a graduate student.
