Bridge Lab Antenna Winding During my time as a postdoc in Eli Bridge’s lab, I developed a custom antenna winding peg. This design has been sitting in my folders for a while, but I recently posted it on Thingiverse. There is not much to the design of this part. A little channel shape funnels wire …
On Sustainability as a Cyber-Physical-Social System I was asked to deliver a seminar for Farrokh Mistree and Janet Allen’s Conversations series on September 17th, 2021. This talk goes over the necessity and goals of the XGEM project related to sustainability as a cyber-physical-social system. Per my modus operandi, I have made the slides (and code) …

Meteorology Internship Starts Jan. 2022 A proposal I submitted to the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) to pay for a meteorology internship position was funded! The proposal was written in partnership between the myself, Xiao-Ming Hu at OU’s Center for the Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS), and Flogistix LLC. …
Deploying Gas Sensors for Urban Canyons As part of my collaborative work on the XGEM project, some of older sensors are getting new life. I have deployed several of the original models and some new custom devices at a simulated urban canyon. My colleagues in Architecture such as Lee Fithian and Wenwen Cheng are interested …
XGEM Big Idea Challenge In February this year, my colleagues and I across the OU campus formed the XGEM Big Idea Challenge team. The full name of the project is Enhancing Future Community Sustainability via Greenhouse Gas Emission Monitoring. You can view the press release here. The E-C-S phonetically sounds like “X”, hence the acronym. …
UnCanny edge detector paper My second paper from my postdoctoral work at the Biosurvey has been published titled: UnCanny: Exploiting Reversed Edge Detection as a Basis for Object Tracking in Video. This paper, published in the Journal of Imaging discusses the novel edge detection algorithm I made for the LunAero project. You can view this …

Sensor Paper I finally published my second paper from my dissertation work (see here for the first) developing sensors entitled: Sensor Array for Wireless Remote Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Near Carbon Sequestration and Oil Recovery Sites in RSC Advances. As with all of my work, it is published with open access. Get the …
LunAero Paper Description My first paper from my postdoctoral work at the Oklahoma Biological Survey has been published on the open-source hardware I designed to record birds crossing the moon entitled: LunAero: Automated “Smart” Hardware for Recording Video of Nocturnal Migration. We published it in HardwareX, so it is open access and available directly at …

My first paper from my work in graduate school has been published about the properties of low cost gas sensors entitled: Precision and Limits of Detection for Selected Commercially Available, Low-Cost Carbon Dioxide and Methane Gas Sensors. The publication in the journal “Sensors” can be viewed directly at the publisher’s site. The article is open …
LunAero This week, the University of Oklahoma Aeroecology Biologging group started a crowdfunding campaign for LunAero: an automated lunar bird tracking device. Since this is one of the projects I’m spearheading as part of my postdoctoral position in the lab of Dr. Eli Bridge, I’d like to walk through the current design here. Take a …
