JAI Summer internship at CERN

Congratulations to Ibrahim Najmudin for completing his JAI Summer internship at CERN.

My summer at CLEAR was spent gaining an appreciation for the practicalities of irradiation experiments, as well as a very hands-on introduction into robotics as I helped to develop the CLEAR-Robot 2.0. The robot is designed to handle many samples as they are irradiated by CLEAR’s high energy electron beam, in an efficient and reproducible manner.  I was also fortunate to be involved in planning and designing aspects of scheduled experiments involving the existing C-Robot. This project has taught me about the level of detail required for a robot and its operation, and the broad range of complexities when dealing with moving electrical components such as linear stages and servomotors and controlling them in a user-friendly way. Overall, I am satisfied with the final product and very grateful for this invaluable opportunity.
