Williams: Optical Trapping Lab 1

Todo Sobre Me

Hey, I'm Ajoke(not pronounced -a-joke) Williams and I'm a senior in Biology. I took 20.309 my sophomore year and it was horrendous, mostly because the class was really hard for me but the material was awesome. Because of 20.309 I was received my first exposure to optics and matlab. Although 20.309 only touched on geometric optics I found thinking about light and its propagation through space and matter, 'exotic' - for lack of a better word. Anyway so I ended up taking a Modern Optics class and working in a UROP where I mostly code in matlab for data processing. My expectations for this class are to learn more about optics and how optical components are interfaced with electrical and digital components to make robust biological measurement systems, to improve my programming skills and learn how to build a PCB board. Right now I think I'm leaning towards working on the STORM imaging method for a final project.
