I am an electrical engineer with an interest in developing tools which can help answering scientific questions. My expertise is in exploratory robotics and acquiring in-situ data, particularly in the marine environment. Below are some specific projects I worked on:Underwater robotics: Published several peer-reviewed papers in the field of navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), cooperation using low-bandwidth, low-reliabilty communication channels. Designed, built, programmed, maintained and deployed AUVs. Participated in several large-scale research deployments. Designed and built a flash for true-color underwater photography (patent pending).Wireless sensor networks: Developed hardware for wireless sensor networks, particularly in the field of environmental monitoring and flood prediction.Marine bioacoustics: Designed, built and deployed recording equipment for marine mammal acoustic studies. Co-authored several publications on harbor porpoise foraging.Medical engineering: Designed and built a stimulus device (patent pending).Specialties: Hardware design: analog and digital, circuit simulation, microcontrollers (various), low-noise analog, switched-mode power supplies, PCB designProgramming: C/C++, Assembler, MATLABTeaching: supervised (PhD) students, held lectures on robotics and signal processing
