Here’s a semi-curated view of what I’ve designed, built, implemented, and discovered during my PhD. I intended for it to strike a balance between something beautiful for others to ingest and an information dump for myself. For you, the visitor, I think it unfortunately leans to towards the latter.
I like CAD work and physically building test equipment. However, the magic is usually in the software. I don't have a preference—orchestrating timing-sensitive multiïnstrument experiments, automating data pipelines, or memory-optimizing analysis—designing software and writing code is what gets me fired up. Fortunately, battery acoustics are data and software-intensive, which is, I think, a large reason why I've been so fulfilled in my grad school research.
I want to mention that my PI, Dan Steingart, is a coding mage and has curated an unreal infrastructure—centralized, automated data storage, MQTT clients, electronics galore, and even a whole IDE—that really frees us on the floor to build cool stuff around. Clüb Steingart is a wonderland.
In general, I refer to our lab's Git homepage, which I maintain, and my personal GitHub page, which is not just battery code but a hodgepodge of geophysics, ML classwork, and personal projects.
