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.
Robotics
This is the autonomous golf cart also known as the Roadrunner. The Roadrunner uses a SICK lidar, two webcams, GPS, and quadrature encoders to navigate it's environment. It's brain is a laptop from Zareason running Ubuntu with Robot Operating System (ROS). All software it runs is ROS enabled written in C++ or Python.
