Wambugu "Innocent" Kironji, 2018-2019
During his time at HUBC, Wambugu worked on visualizing and processing ceilometer data as well as setting up MFRSRs. While processing the ceilometer data was fairly straight-forward, attempting to setup the MFRSRs was much more difficult. The vendor for the MFRSR models used at HUBC had kept very limited documentation on the creation of the devices. Wambugu worked with one of the researchers at HUBC--Dr. David Whiteman--to reverse engineer the instruments so that they could operate and collect data efficiently. Wambugu and Dr. Whiteman also created their own list of procedures for setting up the MFRSRs. Wambugu recalls his time at HUBC and his work with the MFRSRs as a "very challenging but... very rewarding experience."
Wambugu now attends Duke University as a PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. He continues to work closely with instruments as he did with the MFRSRs and ceilometers. His current research focuses on improving the signal processing capabilities of brain computer interfaces (BCI) that are used as communication devices by individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. He plans on applying machine learning to his research to assist with the calibration and operation of the BCI. |
Randall Jones, Summer 2019
Randall is currently a senior at The Ohio State University, where he is majoring in Atmospheric Science. He plans to attend a graduate program to further his studies in this field, with potential research focuses being synoptic meteorology and changes to tropical storm systems as a result of climate change.
