My Work:
I research particle accelerators and antimatter. We are trying to study how gravitational force acts on antimatter atoms. I also developed different devices that help detect particles in a particle accelerator.
I always wanted to do this same job when I was in school, and to be doing it right now feels like living my dream!!

My Typical Day:
I wake up, have my breakfast, and get to work by 8 am. I start by checking my emails and then replying whichever is necessary. Then I try to schedule the activities in my journal that I need to do during the day. Most of my time is spent analyzing my simulation results and interpreting them. I also work on research articles based on the research I have already conducted. At 12, I go to lunch with my colleagues and after an hour of break, I get back to my room to start working again. I go back to home at around 4pm

What I'd do with the prize money:
I would spend the prize money on creating an outreach project that helps me explain antimatter more engagingly. I want to create a demonstration for penning traps which are commonly used for trapping antimatter atoms.
