I'm the one-man electrical/electronics department for a coastal/ocean engineering research laboratory. Our main facility is a high-speed linear towing tank used for scale model ship testing. Essentially the marine equivalent of a wind tunnel. I take care of facility maintenance/upgrades, as well as design/manufacture of new instruments and equipment for specialized tests. I also help install/maintain a number of remote instrumentation sites up and down the NJ shore and around NY harbor.

Any given week could have me working on everything from large servohydraulic control systems to installing tiny strain gages in prototype load cells.
