PHYSICS RESEARCHER

TATA INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH

Dawood Yousuf is a member of:

The Journey So Far:

I HAVE STARTED MY REAL COMPETITIVE JOURNEY FROM MY +2 LEVEL WHERE FROM I GOT STRONGLY ADDICTED TO PHYSICS AND I STARTED DOING IT VERY REASONABLY AND STARTED TO LEARN REAL CONCEPTUAL PHYSICS. BEFORE THAT I WAS JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO SCORE MARKS IN EXAMS LIKE ANY OTHER. AS SOON AS I COMPLETED MYB +2, I WENT IN THE ZONE OF LOCAL STATE COMPETIOTION AND QUALIFIED PRESTIGIOUS IIT/JEE 2016. IT WAS NOT REALLY MUCH OF THAT LEVEL, TO BE MORE HONEST, PARTICULARLY THE PHYSICS PART. I WENT ON TO JOIN BTECH IN NIT DELHI AND LEFT NIT SRINAGAR, AND IT WAS THIS INSTITUTE, MY FAV INSTITUTE WHERE I WAS HELPED BY PROFESSORS TO REACH THE TOP MOST RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF INDIA, THE TATA INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH MUMBAI-TIFR.

Degrees That Matter:

YES, FOR THE ONLY CAUSE I JOINED TIFR BOMBAY WAS THE RESEARCH RIGHT FROM UNDERGRADUATION. CURRENTLY I AM WORKING ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS WHICH INCLUDE QUANTUM MECHANICS, ASTROPHYSICS AND SOME STATISTICAL PROBLEMS.

Changes In The Professional Environment:

SINCE PROFESSIONAL HAS BEEN ALWAYS THE PRIORITY OF EVERY HARDWORKER AND INTELIGENT. EVERY YEAR NUMEROUS STUDENTS JOIN PROFESSIONAL FIELDS AND DAY BY DAY THE COMPETITION LEVEL INCREASES AND OFCOURSE THE RESEARCH TOO GETS ADVANCEMENTS AND THUS YOU CAN EASILY GUESS THE ENVIRONMENT.
THE CHANGE IN THE LEVELS AND THE ADVANCEMENT IS NO DOUBT POSING DIFFICULTIES BUT IT HAS ITS OWN TASTE THAT ACTUALLY PUSHES US TO DO MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE.

Prized Accomplishment(s):

QUALIFYING BTECH IN THE TOP MOST NIT IN INDIA AND THEN AS MUCH ON JOINING TIFR BOMBAY.
WINNING GOLD-MEDAL IS NOT AS SPECIAL AS THE DUO ACOMPLISHMENTS.

Job Profile:

I AM WORKING AS AN UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS , BESIDES THAT I AM ALSO INVOLVED IN NUMBER OF COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH OTHER PROFESSORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Growth Strategy:

EVERYTIME I WORK ON MY CORE AND SOLE IDEA TO ENSURE THAT IT YIELDS BETTER FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND WELL FOR THE HUMANITY. I UNLEASH ALL MY ENERGY AND INVEST IT WHILE DOING MY JOB AND EVERYTIME I GET THE NECESSARY SUPPORT FROM THE FELLOWS.

Working Life Management:

AHH, THIS IS SOMETHING NATURAL. SINCE IT BECOMES A BIT HECTIC IN OFCOURSE ALL THE PROFESSIONAL COURSES TO MAKE BALANCE IN LIFE. COMPROMISES ARE SOMETHING WE NEED TO RELY MUCH IN STUDENT LIFE THAT PROBABLY HELPS ME TO MAKE THE SUSTAINED BALANCE.

Done Differently:

IT WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ALOT DIFFERENT , BUT YET ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION IS TO GO FOR SAT, AN ENTRANCE TEST TO JOIN AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR THE SAME PURPOSE THOUGH,PHYSICS RESEARCH. NO DOUBT TIFR IS BEST, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN SAT TO GAIN EXPERIENCE AND EXPOSURE AS EARLY IN LIFE.

Other Thoughts:

NO THATS ENOUGH OF THE INTERVIEW TODAY (GUFFAW).

AHH WELL THANKYOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING CONVERSATION WITH YOU.

Plans For The Future:

I AM LOOKING FOR MY POST GRADS IN ZURICH UNIVERSITY, NOTHING MUCH I NEED THAN TO CONTINUE MY STUDIES AS OF NOW.

Professional Strengths:

I MAY NOT CLAIM THAT I AM THAT MUCH PROFESSIONAL IN THE FIELDS OF PHYSICS BUT YES I LIKE QUANTUM MECHANICS AND ASTROPHYSICS(INTER GALACTIAL).

Career Profile:

I CURRENTLY SOLVE DIFFERENT EQUATIONS OF COSMOS OF ASTROPHYSICS, PREVIOUSLY IT WAS A SIMPLE CONVENTIONAL BTECH DEGREE. BUT I WAS VERY EARLY LOOKING FORWARD TO DO THE PROJECTS AND DIFFERENT REVIEW PAPERS AS WELL AS RESEARCH PAPERS.

The Decisions That Matter

EVERY DECISION I HAVE MADE SO FAR WAS COMPLETELY MY OWN , AFTER ALL I WAS THE MENTOR OF MY OWN CONSIOUSNESS, I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO WHATEVER I DO, OF MY CHOICE , IN WHICH IN AM REALLY INTERESTED.
AMONGST ALL DECISIONS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE WAS JOINING RESEARCH IN PHYSICS AND LEAVING BTECH.

Required Reading:

THEY CAN EASILY GOOGLE SUCH KIND OF A THINGS . SINCE CHOSING ANY PARTICULAR BOOK IS NOT FIXED OR IT VARY WITH TIME. YEARS AGO SOME BOOK OF QUANTUM MECHANICS WAS USED BUT NOWADAYS IT IS DIFFERENT. SO IT IS TIME DEPENDANT QUESTION , LET THE UPCOMING PROFESSIONALS LOOK FOR IT.

Family Background

I AM WITH MY MOM AND SISTER ONLY. I LOST MY FATHER WHEN I WAS JUST TWO YEARS OLD. I WAS GROWN UP BY MY MOTHER ALONG WITH MY SISTER SINCE 2000. MY MOM IS MY ROLE MODEL.
REST MY FAMILY INCLUDES MY 4 UNCLES AND AS MUCH LOVING COUSINS, I MUST SAY I HAVE A LOVING AND CARING FAMILY BUT A SUPERVISING ONE.
