Projects and Posts on Physics and Programming

Nice to meet you!

I’m physicist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. This is the home of my personal blog and project directory and represent only my views, not those of my current employer.

Feel free to get in touch.

Academic Work

You can read up on the previous research project I’ve been involved in. Or take a look at the publication list can also give you a quick overview of my work.

Personal Projects

I enjoy to tinker on my own as well. Most of these projects mix a hardware and software component, to make something that is interactive. Some of my current favorites are;

Programming Projects

I’ve worked in a variety of languages from MATLAB to Mathematica to Python. You can find some of these projects on this page, but I have migrated most to github.

House Temperature Logging

I was interested in temperature, humidity monitoring around the house to see if there were any trends, or if the basement was getting too humid. In particular, looking for a low-effort way to get data into a dashboard, I was eager to try out the AdafruitIO framework. They limit you to two managed whippersnapper devices (but you can have more using your IO key), and 10 feeds (this is the real limiter, with each stream of data being one feed).

Netrunner Laser-Cut Identities (Smoke & Outfit)

After the success of the last Netrunner laser-cut ID’s I thought I would do another set for East Coast Nationals 2023. This was right before Smoke (one of my favorite runners) was going to rotate, and The Outfit was doing super strong, so I had an easy time deciding what to do.

Netrunner Laser-Cut Identities

I’ve been using the laser cutter/engraver to generate some Netrunner identities for some time, and finally got some that look really good.
