PhD Experience By Suzan Bvumbi From University of Johannesburg South Africa

OUTLINE  Personal details  PhD experience  Teaching and Research experience  Outlook

PhD Experience Undergraduate studies (Bsc) at UNIVEN in Limpopo ( ) Postgraduate studies (Bsc Hons. And Msc) at UWC under MANUS/MATScie program ( ) – Why I moved to Western Cape – Experiments I did PhD at UJ ( ) – Experiments performed at iThemba LABS

How I chose to do Nuclear Physics

We want to classify the levels in terms of:  Nuclear Shape Prolate Oblate Triaxial Excitation Mode ----Collective Excitation  is the nucleus rotating ?  vibrating ?  Single Particle Excitation  What orbitals are the protons and neutrons moving in ?

Phys. Rev. C 87 (2013) ”Octupole correlations in the structure of bands in the N=88 nuclei 150 Sm and 152 Gd” S. P. Bvumbi et al.

International collaborations PhD experiment performed in Finland Part of Analysis performed in Hungary Presentations made at ASP-Ghana,Italy

Inspiration from mentors

Current activities Teaching – Physics for Radiography students – Physics for Somatology students – Engineering Metallurgy Research – Supervising two MSc students – Grants

OUTLOOK I will be teaching at UJ for the next coming three years Data is available for Msc/PhD students Possibility of doing a postdoc Writing grant proposals I will be teaching in ASP2016

THANK YOU A proton and a neutron were walking one day, and the proton said to the neutron! I think I lost an electron! The neutron said, are you sure? The Proton replied and said! Yes I'm positive!!!
