Saif B.

9+ years in physical acoustics, vibration and ultrasound, for civil (buildings), consumer (ultrasonics) and industrial products, with experience in embedded, prototyping and new product introduction. PhD candidate in Ultrasonics, published author and inventor in few patents for a novel electromagnetic actuator. I offer laboratory services to: - Perform frequency response and impedance measurements. - Measure both airborne and waterborne ultrasound using lab-grade equipment. - Model, design and test piezo-based sensors including Langevin transducers. - Vibration isolated platform and vibration measurements. - Shaker testing and accelerometer testing. I am Member of Institute of Acoustics UK (IoA), and British Institute for Non-Destructive testing (BINDT). Areas of expertise: - Ultrasound: ultrasonic transducers including underwater, hydrophone measurements, piezoelectric and Langevin transducers. - Vibration: measurement using industry-standard accelerometers, signal processing, simulation using Finite Difference or Finite Element for buildings and products, transfer function measurements, setup of custom setups, ground-borne vibration analysis from trains, radiated noise, vibration actuator and custom vibration isolator design. - Haptics: design of haptic systems, and embedded programming of haptic actuators, including Texas Instruments DRV2605, and Rensas ASICs. - Measurements: Laser Doppler Vibrometer, Thermal measurements using FLIR systems, High-Speed Imaging, Radio Frequency (RF) - Programming: MATLAB and Python scientific programming and publication-level data analysis. - Prototyping: PCB design, etching and milling, Lathe and CNC metal work, soldering, reverse engineering. C and C++ for embedded development for Arduino and STM32. - Audio DSP design including testing of Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) solutions, Acoustics Noise Cancellation ANC, Voice Activity Detectors, Cirrus Logic, Sigma DSP, Threshold Detectors, including open source algorithms such as WebRTC, SpeexDSP. - LabView applications for NI and non-NI devices with GUI interface, for testing, measurement and prototyping.
