I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering under Dr. Nancy Diaz Elsayed, focusing on the 鈥淪mart Manufacturing Industry Initiative (SMII).鈥� My research expertise lies in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics, production process optimization, energy efficiency, and leverage real-time sensor data for monitoring & predicting product quality & production. I also apply advanced robotics and automation to streamline manufacturing production lines.

I have always been inspired by creating technological solutions to address existing process challenges. What keeps me passionate is witnessing the successful implementation of these solutions and the impact they create.

Throughout my research career and PhD journey, there have been many proud moments. One that stands out is my persistence in overcoming numerous failures to achieve success. 

My research is driven by economic and workforce development goals. It focuses on training individuals in emerging technologies, which can lead to economic growth and improved industry practices.

Collaborating with individuals from across the globe and professional backgrounds has been incredibly rewarding. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from these experiences, and together, we creatively tackle challenges.

Don鈥檛 limit your thought process by believing that a specific specialization defines your career path. Any career is just a stepping stone for your next adventure. Follow your heart and pursue what truly excites you.

I prioritize taking time off on weekends, going on vacation trips with friends, and spending quality time with family and friends. Establishing a routine for self-care throughout the week also helps. 

I enjoy spending time with friends, playing Catan, going for walks, and volunteering with church administrative work.

I don鈥檛 have a specific favorite place, but I love the Tampa Bay Trail, Bayshore Riverwalk, and Armature Works鈥攁ny location with a scenic walking trail. 

Yes, we are always open to collaborations in education and training, undergraduate research, and workforce development. Please feel free to reach out to me at pallavi2@usf.edu.

If my research could take me anywhere in the world, I would love to visit Hawaii.

My favorite way to reset during a busy research day is taking a long walk with a friend.

I can beat anyone at Catan!

I am working in 黑料网吃瓜爆料Department of Physics in the Advanced Materials and Devices Theory Group of Dr. Lilia Woods (Professor, Associate Chair). We are currently interested in dissipative phenomena in novel materials such as Casimir or van der Waals interaction, near-field radiative heat transfer, and quantum friction. Such kind of phenomena are caused by quantum vacuum fluctuation and affect the synthesis, efficiency, and reliability of nano or sub-nano devices. Please visit Dr. Woods 鈥榮 homepage to find out more about our team and our research: https://www.amd-woods-group.com/.

When entering college, I was more interested in being a physics teacher in high school and never thought about doing science. During that time, I joined a research group in my university in other to spend time doing something else instead of boring homework in classes. Then I realized that nothing can compare with the happiness from doing research and I decided to pursue my Ph.D. degree to become a professional scientist. Obviously, research is a hard job where problems come every day but the happiness of finding things and seeing my finding being published keeps me on the track up to now. The excitement when being able to talk, to discuss with peers in my group or meetings, and conferences, 鈥� also reminds me how big I love physics whenever I want to give up this path.

It is quite personal but my proudest moment is when my first publication after marriage was accepted. I had been working on this research while preparing for my marriage and finally, I was able to express my love to my wife in the acknowledgment (DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab940a). 

I am now contributing to theoretical research about dissipative phenomena in novel materials.   Caused by quantum vacuum fluctuation, such phenomena affect the synthesis, efficiency, and reliability of nano or sub-nano devices, and in the long term, studies about these phenomena are significant for the development of the semiconductor chip as well as quantum computer industries.

The most rewarding aspect of my postdoctoral experience at 黑料网吃瓜爆料is opportunities. Working at 黑料网吃瓜爆料with Dr. Lilia Woods brings me various opportunities to join one of the biggest conferences in physics (APS March Meetings 2023 and 2024) and receive the Postdoctoral Distinguished Student Program Award for outstanding non-US young researchers in APS March Meetings 2024; to be a reviewer for top tier journals in physics like Physical Review Letters (APS) or to collaborate with senior researchers all over the world and opening my research network and so on. 黑料网吃瓜爆料Office of Postdoctoral Affairs also gives me a chance to serve as a judge for three-minute thesis competitions, which is an interesting experience.

My favorite advice is 鈥淒on鈥檛 be scared!鈥�. The best advantage of youth is time. Young students have enough time to learn from not only success but also from failure. Therefore, they should not be scared of doing any research. My second advice is 鈥淟ike what you do, not do what you like!鈥�. Some young students are too serious to stick to one particular research direction that they think they like even though they haven鈥檛 done any research before. My own experience shows that we only know what kind of research we really like to do after seriously working on it and overcoming all of its difficulties. 

I don鈥檛 think I am good at maintaining a healthy work-life balance. When struggling with research, I just tried to let my brain not think about research by playing computer games, chess, or xiangqi online or doing housework.

There are several things I often do when feeling burnt out on research like playing computer games, chess, or xiangqi online or doing housework.

The Tampa Bay area is so interesting and there are plenty of places to hang out. But I personally love to hang out in Vietnamese restaurants in Tampa and St. Petersburg.
