The Spotlight ReportAuthor: The Spotlight Report
The Spotlight Report is a podcast in which we discuss science, research, and other topics with the goal of educating and critically exploring different topics. Additionally, the human side of science is often under appreciated and not discussed, thus, it is a huge effort to capture and explore the less talked about joys and struggles of the sciences with a focus on the humanity that powers the cutting edge discoveries of our world.

Kashmira Nakhoda on The Journey from Large Optics Metrology to X-Ray Synchrotron Application Design and Metrology
Wednesday, 2 October, 2024
Dr. Kashmira Nakhoda sat down to discuss her journey through optics. Kashmira shared her early work on metrology and scattering modeling of the DKIST 4.2 m primary mirror and how she progressed to X-Ray synchotron application metrology and design. She also explored what makes a lab group, or any group, great to be a part of, how to continue learning, and how she has arrived at her current position of having a consulting business, RayKi Consulting. This was a really great discussion, and Kashmira shared not only her incredible optics knowledge, but also her valuable perspective on a career in optics. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
