SKILLs

In this section, I would like to provide ideas and solutions for common practical problems encountered frequently in research labs, which are seldom reported in the literature. 

Real-time image processing in MATLAB/Python

Over the years of research, I have developed many useful codes, written in MATLAB for image processing used widely for Quantitative Biology and Real-time Object Tracking.

• Track the sweat in real-time and calculate sweat rates in a microchannel (wearable sweat rate sensors). A demonstration is below.

• Droplet analysis on morphometry and velocimetry

• Cell counting

• Real-time fluorescence detection

• Cytometry

Please drop me an email if you want to have the codes.

High-speed camera techniques

• Novel use of an AC speaker (Visaton Speaker BG 20) to generate vibration in megahertz.

• Setup using a Photron FASTCAM SA-Z (up to 1,000,000 fps), oscilloscope (Teledyne LeCroy - WaveSurfer 3054), a function generator (LeCroy Wavestation 2012), a power amplifier (Peavey CS4000), laser beam illumination, and Thorlabs optomechanical components.

• Detection of ultrafast movements in real-time at the microscale.

• Setup on Advanced Analog Triggering and Synchronization Techniques.

How to prepare a beautiful manuscript by LATEX 

I have a habit of preparing my manuscripts/reports/thesis in LATEX. I found that the results are much more beautiful and professional than in conventional ways. Working in LATEX typesetting, I love manuscripts more and want to make every single figure more "beautiful". Personally, I think the reviewers also like reading such a nice, clear, error-free manuscript like me. The followings are two templates I have worked on recently. You can use them for your next publications.

• Lab on a Chip latest template 2018

• Physical Review Letter template

Please drop me an email if you want to have other templates. I can spend some time customizing a version for you.
