• Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format.
• Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories).
• For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made.

Qualifications

  • PhD or doctoral candidate in Physics, Applied Physics, Astrophysics, or a closely related field.
  • Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain.
