How things work,and how they fail.
CAS-LAB Science is an independent one-person lab. I build instruments, models, and teaching tools, take things apart to find out why, and publish the notes and the source as I go.
Research threads
All research →Instrumentation & measurement
Building, repairing, and characterising analogue and RF hardware — and trusting the measurement.
Materials Science
Making structure, phase behaviour, and microstructure computable and manipulable.
Autonomous systems
Robots that sense, decide, and act — and the failure modes that show up when they do.
sEMG and bioengineering
Surface electromyography from sensing hardware through signal decoding to control.
Astrophotography
Imaging the night sky; the photographs are published as a gallery.
Open by default
Data, code, and write-ups are public wherever they can be. Good science is reproducible science, and reproducibility starts with sharing the work — including the parts that did not go anywhere.
