Collaborate
CAS-LAB Science is one person for now. Most of the work is done in the open, and it is usually better with other people involved.
Carol Sanders
Independent researcher
I run CAS-LAB Science, an independent one-person lab working across instrumentation, materials science, and the tools that make engineering concepts easier to reason about. I publish notes, data, and source as the work happens rather than after it is tidy.
Open to
Instrumentation & measurement
Analogue and RF hardware — fault-finding, repair, characterisation, and the test rigs and calibration work around it.
Computational & applied modelling
Simulation, numerical methods, and data analysis applied to physical systems, especially where the model has to match a bench measurement.
Teaching & explanatory tooling
Interactive tools for engineering and materials science — the kind that make an abstract idea manipulable instead of memorised.
How the work runs
- Open by default — notes, data, and source get published unless there is a reason not to.
- Small, well-scoped pieces of work with a clear question behind them.
- Reproducibility over polish: a rough result you can re-run beats a clean one you cannot.
