Equipping the Physics laboratory at NUTECH

We are delighted to share the completion of another successful science sharing program, this time with the National Technology University (NUTECH), Islamabad. The university approached Physlab for technical support and provision of hardware and systems including equipment for their newly built Physics laboratory. The project consisted of crafting seven experimental setups including:

The Physlab team successfully crafted all of these setups within an intensively active period of three months. The time coincided with the indolent summer and first week of the meditative Ramadan period. The equipment included homegrown data loggers (Physlogger), handcrafted apparatuses for rotational mechanics, home built mass balances (Physload), a linear air track with 3D printed gliders and home made photo-gates for the study of conservation of momentum, webcams and software codes for video tracking simple harmonic motion, studying the mechanisms of crater formations and observing the transfer of energy and momentum in the famous Newton’s cradle. All of the locally developed hardware has been crafted with the support of Qosain scientific under HEC’s Technology Development Fund program.

The equipment was delivered to the esteemed institute by the Physlab team led by Dr. Sabieh Anwar (Associate Professor and PI) accompanied by Muhammad Umar Hassan (Senior Development Engineer) and Azeem Iqbal (Lab Instructor), Khadim Mehmood (Junior lab technician) and Sheraz Ahmad (Developer at Qosain Scientific).

The entire project team consisted of:

PI from LUMS: Dr. Sabieh Anwar

PI from NUTECH: Dr. Arbab Ali Khan

The team from LUMS: Khadim Mehmood, Umar Hassan, Hafiz Rizwan, Ali Hassan, and Azeem Iqbal

The team from Qosain Scientific: Muhammad Shafique, Shiraz Ahmad
