Opportunities for Students

We are trying to expand the scope of research and learning engagements for our undergraduate students. While the University's pedagogical partnership programme is a brilliant scheme, our technical infrastructure and ecosystem provide additional opportunities. For this reason, we launched an online ambassadors programme; inducted assistant editors who could write science stories for our magazine, 'The Particle'; and have engaged students in helping the departments build academic portfolios and websites. 

The latest project are our technical apprenticeships. In the first phase, undergraduate SBASSE students are welcome to spend ten weeks in the NMR spectrometer laboratory https://centrallab.lums.edu.pk/nuclear-magnetic-resonance . Our machine is a 600 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with direct hydrogen, carbon, phosphorus and heteronculear probes and allows the determination of structure of, mainly organic molecules, ranging from small molecules to complex proteins. The NMR spectrometer is a complex radio. The signal is processed using sophisticated processing routines and is visualized and analyzed using specialized software. Furthermore, the machine is a beautiful illustration of quantum mechanics of warm molecules. 

The opportunity therefore is rich and diverse and of wide appeal. 

If you are interested in availing this opportunity (we can accommodate two students at a time), please write to Dr. Ghayoor Abbas explaining why you are interested in this apprenticeship. At the successful completion of this work, which may go up to 6-8 hours a week, apprentices will receive a certificate, can become superusers of the machine training others.
