Short Bio
Originally from Michigan, I've taken a non-standard pathway towards my PhD. I bike and play on my computer while not working in the lab.
Education
BS Mathetmatics Eastern Michigan University 2016
BS Physics Research Eastern Michigan University 2016
MS Physics Eastern Michigan University 2019
Professional Experience
Electronics and PCB design with KICAD
3D design, technical drawings, and 3d printing models with FreeCAD
Spice simulation for electonics modeling with LTSpice
Impedance matching and frequency response modeling with SimNEC
Electronics analysis and characterization using Vector Network Analyzer and Spectrum Analyzer
Innovation
Built and designed the Active Levitation and Impedance Characterization Experiment (ALICE) - A platform with easy to swap components for rapid prototyping for plasma experiments.
Designed, prototyped, and tested the Vector Optimized Reflectometry for Plasma Analysis and Logistics (VORPAL) device - A complete (automated) system for experimental control, data acquisition, and interfacing using only Python and microcontrollers. No NI software or labview!
Developed an open source python suite for atomic spectroscopic lineshape fitting, AtomSpect, which is a lightweight and approachable tool to fit to spectrometer data.
