About the Instructor: Ibrahim Mirza earned PhD in experimental elementary particle physics from The University of Tennessee Knoxville, United States. He worked on a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment-LEGEND-1000. Ibrahim conducted his research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His work involves vacuum technology, developing low-radioactivity materials, 3D-printing, detector simulation, gamma-ray spectroscopy and data analysis. Dr. Ibrahim Mirza is the founder and organizer of various summer and winter schools and conferences. He teaches courses on quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and the Standard Model of particle physics.
