Internship Summer 2009
The Physlab has started a students internship programme whereas 15 interns will spend time inside the lab over the summers and help in the development of new experiments, testing and improvement of existing experiments and helping prepare the lab manuals.
The internship is planned from June 29, 2009 to August 22, 2009. During this period interns will perform their elective experiments in two groups. These students will also be assigned independent projects working with the Lab staff. To varying degrees, the interns will learn about data acquisition, basics of electronic circuit design, cryogenics handling, lab safety, scientific and technical writing, lab management, and of course, some exciting physics. Once in their stay with the Physics Lab, they will also make a field trip to the local market for technical supplies.
