Currently buildingAutomated microscope01 / Current focus
Currently building:
Automated microscope
A developing instrument that brings mechanical design, motion control, electronics, imaging, and software into one experimental system.
From first principles
to focused images.
Documenting the full build: CAD, stepper motors, Arduino and GRBL, wiring, camera capture, autofocus, testing, and the lessons between milestones.
02 / Selected work
Ideas made tangible.
A growing collection of projects and research, from software prototypes to physical systems.
Automated microscope
A multidisciplinary instrument combining mechanical motion, electronics, imaging, and software to explore repeatable automated microscopy.
Explore projectMicroscope autofocus system
A Python application for camera capture and GRBL-driven focus scanning, with a simulator, desktop interface, and recorded test runs.
Explore projectPredicting Alzheimer’s diagnosis
Compared six supervised learning models using feature selection and stratified evaluation; the Random Forest model reached 94.6% accuracy and 0.95 AUC in the project study.
