What I did
- Built a modular PyQt5-based instrument control system to manage multi-station hardware, with per-station configuration, real-time telemetry, and synchronized schedule execution, working alongside one of Oxylus's engineers to meet the team's needs.
- Designed a scalable station-configuration framework supporting dynamic USB device mapping, live sensor polling, and safe schedule validation for laboratory automation.
- Designed and fabricated a sealed, large-scale electrolysis stack enclosure with fume-hood exhaust, built to OSHA standards for safe handling of carbon monoxide.
- The control application now runs across twelve experimental stations and is used daily by six full-time employees.
