Roles and responsibilities
Software Engineer - I'm responsible for developing new and unique software solutions to problems facing both the developmental and analytical microscopy team, and researchers who require assistance. I can create custom code in languages including, but not limited to, .NET, Matlab, Python, C++, Java, and LabVIEW.
Prototyping Engineer - I also have the ability, with my robotics and automation background, to develop new electronic and mechanical systems. This can involve things such as basic mechanical design, electric power and control layouts, PCB design, all the way through to software development and testing to finalize the prototype.
Current research and/or projects
Currently I am working on:
- Developing the electronics for a nanoscale mover for an open-source transmission electron microscope.
- Programming a control scheme that can be used on the in-house electron microscopes to enable simple automation and control of experiments.
- Controls and software for the open-source transmission electron microscope.
