Hello, my name is Bryan Orabutt. I am currently a PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) doing my doctoral studies in computer engineering. I am doing research in the areas of integrated circuit design as applied toward low energy nuclear science.
In my work I often use the Cadence software design tools for integrated circuits, as well as write software in C, Python, and GNU Octave. In my free time I enjoy writing software, particularily for embeded systems, and designing electronics projects. I am also an avid 3D printer user.
Taught two courses: Electronic Circuits I, Digital VLSI Design
I worked in the IC design lab, assisting in the design of custom integrated circuits.
I created procedures documentation and worked with other network engineers to configure and deploy new equipment onto the network.
Integrated Circuit Design
CFD16C is a custom sixteen channel constant fraction discrimiator used to precisely mark the arrival time of input pulses from a scintillator. It is used in experiments involving ionizing radiation, especially where particle identification is important.
Integrated Circuit Design
HINP16C is a custom peak sensing integrated circuit for use with silicon strip detectors.
Integrated Circuit Design
In nuclear science it is often necessary to classify incident radiation. Traditional methods of doing this involve purely analog or purely digital electronics. This schema borrows techniques from both the analog and digital realms to do pulse-shape discrimination with fewer limitations.
