Day 2: Oh! The Joy of Physics
“There difference between the macro and micro has nothing to do with quantum and the classical.” – Anton Zeilinger Attosecond Pulses of Light for the Study of Electron Dynamics by Anne L’Huillier. The opening session was by Anne L’Huillier, the one of three winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023, for “for experimental methods…
Day 1: Upon the Constance They Gather
I am delighted to say that I was invited to attend the Lindau Nobel Prize Meeting in Physics this year in-person. To be amongst some of the brightest young physicists on the planet and 38 Nobel Prize Winners in physics is extremely humbling and at the same time an amazing opportunity – I look forward…
Presenting at GRS: Towards an efficient underdamped heat engine
I was at the Gordon Research Seminars (GRS) in Ventura,CA, presenting our latest work demonstrating an underdamped stochastic heat engine. These are hot-out of the oven results from the Millen Lab – so watch this space for the detailed paper later this year.
What I Do…
Research
I use levitated systems to study macroscopic quantum mechanics but also ultra-weak force/torque sensing. I use both optomechanical and ion trapping techniques (electromechanics) to realise these goals.
Outreach
If I can build it from scratch, i know that thing truly. With this ethos I organise and develop novel hands-on workshops to excite and inspire children and adults towards STEM subjects.
Teaching
I am an experienced tutor, with over a decade of experience in teaching students from KS1 up to degree level. I predominantly specialise in maths and science students.
Talks
I love to talk physics. To this end I never give up the opportunity to talk about science in general, the science we do in the lab or simply talk quantum mechanics!
AMRA
I currently serve as the chairman of Ahmadiyya Muslim Research Association (AMRA). A highly multidisciplinary organisation working in generating collaborations, and promoting research-careers amongst the muslim youth.
Youth Work
I have worked as a youth leader within the Ahmadiyya muslim youth Association (AMYA) in the past for many years. And more recently provide pastoral and educational support to youth members as and when required. I also also deeply passionate about youth societies/clubs in the UK.
