About myself

I am currently an undergrad. I have completed my requirements for the Physics major and I will now move towards Electrical Engineering and pursue graduate study in that field. I am from St. Louis and I play football here at Wash. U.

Research and Projects

Development of the PIC servo Board designed by Jim Buckley and Richard Bose I have constructed and written C programs to the board to control servo motors

Automation of a detector efficiency experiment. I used the PIC board to control a motor to turn a monochrometer, and interfaced the PIC board and an Ammeter to Labview. A three hour manual experimental test was reduced to a 30 minute automated experimental test.

Future projects include automation of the Radio Telescope here by using the PIC Board. Hardware work at the Tyson Research Center. Development of an image polarimeter setup that will be used to polarize light from gamma ray sources.
