About me
My Story
Hi! It's me Prabesh Bista hailing from Nepal. I grew up in Kathmandu. I did my undergraduate at Tribhuvan University. After completing my undergraduate, I went to Taiwan for internship. Ultimately, I worked as a Research Assistant for a year at Dr. Cheng-Tien Chiang's lab . I also did my master's thesis at Chiang's group. I built a non-collinear optical parametric amplifier from scratch that is used as a light source for photoelectron spectroscopy. Currently, I am working as an intern at Dr. Veronika Sunko's lab . My current works involve in designing and constructing an experiment and analyzing the data. Besides doing experiment I will be doing these activities like reading newspaper and non-fiction books, hiking, playing football, cycling, traveling, watching documenteries and movies, and cooking food.
