Eatontown, Nj

- Developed a measurement platform with LabWindows/CVI to automate 10 instruments of an optical lab setup that will be applied to fiber optical submarine systems in the future.- Built a MATLAB based simulation to support the measurement platform.- Beyond the technical support, my duties included the organization of results, reports writing and meeting with the Engineering team to discuss results and perspectives.- The internship included site visits to TE SubCom's cable manufacturing plants in New Hampshire and the ship depot in Maryland.

Campinas E Região, Brasil

- Optical systems simulations using MATLAB.- Built an optical transmission characterizer with LabVIEW to automate the data acquisition of complex lab setups. The data acquisition time was reduced by 70% and the number of people involved was reduced from 3 to 1.- Automated instruments such as variable optical attenuator, optical spectrum analyzer, programmable optical filter, lasers and optical oscilloscopes.- Automated a pre-filtering system that enhanced the range of transmission of a 224 Gb/s PDM-QPSK signal, resulting in one article publication.- Presented an 8-hour hands-on LabVIEW course to engineering interns and full-time engineers using interactive presentations and experiments with basic machine communication.
