Bianca Brown

2022- Current

• Developed a displacement sensor for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) by allocating selected electro-mechanical components.
• Confirmed design requirements were met by performing sensitivity and noise estimations.
• Collaborated with the research team to prioritize and scope feature requests to ensure the biggest impact features were completed first.

2020-2021

• Established an experimental optical setup for a tracking frequency gauge (TFG) controller, improving the performance of a space-qualified digital controller using a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
• Built a space-qualifiable controller prototype (Red Pitaya) hopping controller from a preexisting Altium design using a Red Pitaya.
• Assembled stable optical cavity and mode-matching optics, successfully locking the Fabry -Perot cavity.
• Created a Bill of Materials from Altium Designer, developing the experimental setup of a laser tracking frequency gauge.

• Organized and led monthly property-wide events to build rapport with current renters to provide a personalized experience.
• Followed up on leads for potential renters, resulting in the property being 100% pre-leased for the 2023-2024 leasing term.
• Maintained community facilities such as mailrooms, fitness centers, and business centers.

• Graded assignments and exams with attention to detail for Engineering Mechanics - Dynamics.
• Collaborated with the professor to create and implement a differentiated instruction plan that resulted in an increase in student performance.
• Explained advanced technical concepts to inexperienced students.
• Assisted multiple students simultaneously during office hours, to gain a better understanding of the course.

• Delivered a solar charging system for a university golf cart, by gathering solar charging panel data and documenting research findings in a detailed report.
• Coordinated and oversaw FIRST Robotics competitions, directing robotics matches and strategizing multiple events times.
• Demonstrated research findings through data tables, graphs and presentations.

• Presented research results to customers and management.
• Designed and built an experimental setup for an electro-photonic integrated chip alignment system.
• Explained and demonstrated testing procedures to team members to collaborate on project implementation.
• Participated in discussion and project reports to leadership, recommending changes and suggesting ideas.
