PROJECT VIEW

Overview

The fast path is selected.

OVERVIEW / THE SIGNAL

Three things that matter.

MATLAB · Optical alignment · Lenses · Ronchi gratings · Imaging

01

The problem

Evaluate an optical diagnostic system that makes otherwise invisible density gradients in a flow observable and spatially selective.

02

What I owned

Undergraduate researcher supporting optical alignment, analytical evaluation, and experimental visualization tests.

03

The evidence

Connected analytical optical relationships with alignment decisions and recorded experimental imagery.
