He is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Photonic Science & Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. Ahmad conducts research at the Laser Plasma Laboratory as part of the laser development team in CREOL, the College of Optics & Photonics. Currently, his research interests include temporal and spatial coherent combining of laser pulses for generating high-energy, high-power ultrafast lasers for applications in plasma and atomic physics. Ahmad is currently working on the development of a novel picosecond pump laser for a quasi-single-cycle optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier system using multidimensional coherent pulse addition.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/mcnair_gallery/1010/thumbnail.jp

Review: arrow cards
No full textArrow cards are a simple manipulative to grasp place value or more generally the base-ten number-writing system that we use. Dr Maria Montessori invented the static cards. These cards are used along with proportional material like static beads (unit = single bead, ten = 10 beads strung together forming a line, hundred = 10 tens strung together to form a square and thousand = 10 hundreds strung to form a cube) to gain a sense of numbers – the quantities they indicate and the numerals that represent them and how they are linked. When these cards are superimposed, they form the multi-digit number. When these transitioned to regular schools, an arrow got added so that the cards can be held up for an entire class to see. The cards are supposed to be held only by one hand holding the arrows together. This ensures that a number like 327 can’t be made with 300, 2 and 7. Even if a child tries to do that and succeeds thanks to friction, one flick of the hand would send the 2 flying out! So, the only way to make 327 would be to use the cards 300, 20 and 7 which is essentially a self-corrective feature, common to many Montessori materials
