All the comments have disappeared on the website. I am working to get it going again. I do not think it is possible to post right now. I will post again when this is fixed. You can write me an email at the address on the right column as needed.

Christian created the poster in the image to the right to describe his undergraduate research. This is first of the two semester he will spend working on the project. A poster is required for each semesters. He will present the poster and describe his work for the poster at a symposium on Wednesday morning. Here is the poster abstract:
Spectrophotometers and infrared cameras are widely used for non-contact temperature detection. These devices have been applied to manufacturing processes monitoring in industry Bnight or smoke vision systems for the police, firefighters, and military, and many other places. However, the sensors need to be calibrated to their surroundings to collect useful information. This calibration can be performed by metering the camera with respect to a light-absorbing surface with constant temerature and constant electromagnetic emissions. This project involves building and testing a planar metering source for the described equipment which maintains enough temperature precision to allow accurate temeprature calibration while maintaining lowcost.
Late in her toughest semester ever, Kelly draws a comic. Late in his toughest semester ever, Christian comments on the comic on Facebook.
