Summary
Adam Dockery is a Nuclear Physics PhD candidate and data-savvy experimentalist with 10 years of hands-on experience designing experiments, building control software, and analyzing atomic and nuclear spectra. At the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams he led measurements of nickel, thorium, scandium, and aluminum isotopes while developing Python toolkits, GUIs, and PID controllers to stabilize high-voltage hardware. He pairs deep laboratory skills—beamline tuning, high-voltage circuitry, and spectroscopy—with software engineering practices used for reproducible data analysis and device automation. As a teaching assistant he translates complex concepts into practical lab training, mentoring peers in spectroscopy and electronics. His background includes internships at major facilities (Argonne, GSI, APS) and contributions to simulation and multi-threaded analysis fixes in C++/ROOT, reflecting uncommon fluency across hardware, controls, and scientific software. Now seeking applied roles in government or industry, he aims to bring instrument-level expertise and robust data-science workflows to real-world measurement challenges.
