Maintain and improve upon 3 SPIM microscopes geared towards cancer cell analysis. - Develop modular SPIM microscope control system (LabVIEW) - Reduce development time by 66% - Increased sample acquisition speed by 30% overall As the only electronics engineer in the lab, I help design and validate custom setups for various experiments such as a temperature control unit or a DIY NAS server.

Underground muon flux detector. - Coded in a Linux environment with C++ and ROOT framework - Developed a server-client system enabling on the fly DAQ configuration and file transfer. Secondary opportunities: - Design and build a hermetic chamber for an acquisition system. - Construction of a support frame for an experimental tent setup. - PCB design for acquisition arrays.

Develop a program in LabVIEW which pilots a prototype SPIM microscope at ITAV. The project will become my 3 year apprenticeship job.

Biel, Switzerland Designing a force transducer following unique specifications for an industrial producer at the BFH-TI. - Designed a prototype with Autodesk Inventor - Researched and justified choice of parts - Out of the box thinking required for the peculiar specifications the client needed
