Shoaib secured a postgraduate fellowship at the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences and completed his master’s degree in Physics in 2016. His research thesis was based on the development and characterization of Ce-doped YAG screens for electron beam diagnostics, He synthesized the phosphor screens and characterized them for their surface and electroluminescence properties. For seven years he has worked in the research and development organization focused on developing low to medium-energy LINAC for industrial and medical applications. He significantly contributed to developing ultra-high vacuum systems, particle sources, and diagnostic components for LINAC and beamlines. Out of these research and development activities he has published four research papers in the peer-reviewed international journals.
In 2024, Shoaib has joined LIV.INNO as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool, with a planned two years conducting research at CERN. His PhD research thesis seeks to address the critical need for minimally intercepting beam diagnostics in large-scale accelerator facilities particularly to meet the requirements of beam profile measurements of overlapping beams at Hollow Electron Lens (HEL). This project aims to advance the development and optimization of the compact Beam Gas Curtain profile monitor through detailed analytical calculations, simulations, machine learning applications, and experimental validation. The successful completion of this project will provide a novel beam diagnostic tool and enhance the monitoring capabilities for high beam current applications at the HL-LHC.
