Rafael Angel Narcio Laveaga

• Managed time effectively between multiple responsibilities such as coursework, and research commitments.
• Supported grant writing efforts to secure funding for important research initiatives.
• Developed strong professional relationships with members by actively participating in meetings and events.
• Gained a lot of experience at working with large high energy physics experiments.
• Worked with radiation detectors.
• Applied strong attention to detail while reviewing documents or analyzing data, ensuring accuracy in all deliverables.
• Expanded personal network by connecting with professionals in the industry, leading to valuable mentorship opportunities and lasting relationships.
• Attended a workshop on collaborating with culturally diverse teams.
• Attended conference and workshop to get up-to-date knowledge relevant to my field.

Got trained in different roles and performed them, such as:

• DCS shifter - Controlling Detectors for the ALICE Experiment at the LHC and making sure they remained safe and be ready for data taking.
• QC shifter - Analyzing data quality from the detectors in real time, making sure everything is going well during the runs.
• Shift Leader - Coordinating the Crew, communicating with other especialists, reporting errors, and doing ALICE operations.

• Actively participated in departmental meetings, collaborating with colleagues to identify and address areas for improvement in the curriculum and student support services.
• Implemented active learning strategies such as group projects and case studies, promoting critical thinking skills among students.
• Assisted in creating a safe and nurturing classroom environment that promoted emotional well-being and academic growth for all students.
• Supported students in developing social skills through structured activities and positive reinforcement techniques.
• Provided one-on-one support for students with learning disabilities, enabling them to excel in their coursework. Furthermore, as an autistic person, I helped identified neurodivergent students, and supported them.
• Taught subjects related to engineering to engineering students (at a bachelor level) related to physics, mechanics, robotics, electronics, and programming.
• Designed dynamic lab practices to foster student learning through experience.
