The information presented here is a work in progress so you should expect broken links, errors, unfinished thoughts, and periodic updates. If you have any comments or questions please email me at [email protected]. This site is primarily a supplement to my PhD thesis, and my attempt at trying to organize what I've learnt throughout my education. It may also contain previous research and interesting bits tidbits. # Thesis topic My PhD is a continuation of work started in 2014 when the University of Oslo started the process of upgrading the electronics for their multi-Needle Langmuir Probe ([[site/nomenclature|m-NLP]]) from a multi-PCB and IC creating a System on Chip ([[site/nomenclature|SoC]]). I took over the project to test the second generation of chip, and now I am in the process of developing the third generation. All chips have used high voltage 180 nm [XFAB technology](https://www.xfab.com/technology/#c2997). > [!important] I have a tapeout deadline coming up, so this project is put on hold for now. %%Due to the slow nature of chip development, my funding ran out on my PhD before the work did. Therefore, I had to find full-time employment while also continuing my research. Im currently developing payloads for satellites. # style & format notes Definitions follow [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/) and the written style and citations are [Chicago style](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org), specifically the [author-date style](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-2.html) for citations. %% %%insert jira link once thats working, and change the jira to cquinn-phd or something because thats the email address and website Ive chosen.
