Program data acquisition applications and numerical simulations for the **** control room.

1)      Wrote Matlab applications to measure the ion beam energy, to tune the linear accelerator and to update databases.

2)      Modeled the temperature distribution of a Tantalum target hit by a proton beam with non-linear partial differential equations.

3)      Programmed numerical simulations that display the ion beam envelopes evolution through the beam lines.

4)      Attended ****** meetings, presented research results to an audience and wrote papers at the supervisor’s request.

·        Part-time research work at ******* ***** in physics (supervisor: Prof. ********, fall 2006).

Continue the summer 2006 project: minimized functions with a great number of independent variables with a Monte Carlo algorithm.

·        NSERC USRA internship at ******* ***** in physics (supervisor: Prof. ********, summer 2006).

Explore the possibilities of an adaptive optics technology using a liquid mirror made of ferrofluid with various configurations of copper wires transporting direct current.

1)      Programmed Matlab numerical simulations of the ferrofluid surface over the magnetic field generated by the direct current in the wires.

2)      Minimized functions with a Monte Carlo method to find the optimal configuration of copper wires and the best currents needed to produce a mirror capable of generating the various Seildels and Zernikes that correct a given wavefront.

3)      Conceived and constructed an experimental set up to verify the accuracy of the simulations.

4)      Participated to weekly meetings of ******* liquid mirrors research group and wrote a summer report.

Thanks,

There is one thing that I'm having a hard time on; verb tense.  Is it okay if I make a list of tasks that way  :

1-Programming applications ...

2-Writing reports ...

3-Attending to meetings...

instead of using the simple past ? 

In addition, before listing the tasks I would like to resume my work experience in on sentence, could I use the simple present ? 

For exemple :

Program data acquisition applications and numerical simulations for the isac control room.

Thanks again

Thanks a lot !

But just to make sure, because it still sounds weird to my ear, but if you say it's the right way to do it I will beleive you, considering it's a previous work experience I should write :

Tasks: Programmed data acquisition applications and numerical simulations for the ISAC 2 (isotope separation and acceleration 2) control room.

Hi,

But just to make sure, because it still sounds weird to my ear, but if you say it's the right way to do it I will beleive you, considering it's a previous work experience I should write :

Tasks: Programmed data acquisition applications and numerical simulations for the ISAC 2 (isotope separation and acceleration 2) control room.

This sounds OK. It's a simple statement of a past activity, and that's what Simple Past tense is used for.

Such things are normally written in a somewhat abbreviated grammar , without the personal pronoun 'I'.

I see that you have the sub-heading 'Tasks:' here. I'm not sure how appropriate that seems. It doesn't seem necessary.

I wouldn't recommend numbering the various points in your lists. In my experience, that's not normally done.
