Mentor star Linear and rotational stage integration with data acquisition system

Dr. Gergo Szakmany is seeking undergraduate students to participate in Prof. Bernstein's infrared nanoantenna research. Specifically, the student will develop Python code for a Jupyter notebook to interface the existing motorized linear and rotation stages to the group's data acquisition system. The student will learn about stepper motors, communication protocols, and data acquisition. Dr. Szakmany will manage the day-to-day operation, and Prof. Bernstein will serve as a secondary advisor.  Preferred applicants are EE and AME students with a Python and Jupyter background.
