Rahul Singh

Rahul graduated from the SGGS Institute of Engineering Nanded, India in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunication. Following this he made a significant career shift by choosing to study for a master’s degree in photonics from the three collaborating universities of Gent University, VUB Brussels and KTH Stockholm through an Erasmus Mundus fellowship, graduating in 2008.

After graduation Rahul worked for over a year as a systems manager for Ericsson in Sweden, on its switching centre platform, until August 2009.  At this time Rahul began to explore the many possibilities for a continuing research career, and through this learnt about the DITANET network. Initially, this seemed to be a very distant field, but after a careful study of the various projects within DITANET and considering the background requirements for the work and future perspectives, he chose to pursue it.  Rahul begun his PhD on 1st October 2009 at the Technical University Darmstadt and is based at GSI where he is employed to work on the project ‘Tune Measurement and Feedback for Heavy Ion Synchrotrons and Storage Rings at FAIR’.
