Hi, I'm Christian
Christian Cipolletta

I am a third year ECE/CS student at Rowan University that communicates well both orally and in writing, works well independently and in groups, pays attention to details, and is motivated by growth. As a student, worked on several projects including a light-following vehicle using C++, an FPGA music synthesizer using Verilog, a team report on the sustainability of grocery bag alternatives using Word and Powerpoint, and an activist connection application with GUI using Java.

Work Experience

Electronic Systems Engineer

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, June 2023 - August 2023
  • Wrote embedded C programs for a microcontroller to interface with its DMA, ADC, I2C, SPI, and UART channels.
  • Created 8 Confluence Wiki pages to categorize over 80 MDM and D-Sub connectors, and to document the code created for the microcontroller.
  • Designed and laid out a PCB used to connect a DAQ unit to 16 test points, a USB to UART module, and a debugger.
  • Pioneered Visual Studio Code environment with necessary extensions to be used for debugging and uploading code to microcontroller.
  • Analyzed microcontroller outputs using standalone digital logic analyzer and one connected to an oscilloscope inside of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) controlled laboratory.

Visiting Scientist

Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, June 2022 - August 2022
  • Worked in a group of 3 that tested the feasibility of new technology for detecting and identifying chemical and explosive threats concealed in bottles for security at airports.
  • Designed and carried out 3 experiments that tested the capabilities of the technology.
  • Wrote a Mathematica program to collect data from over 20 experimental tests.
  • Used Microsoft Excel to do statistical analysis and to create over 10 graphs.
  • Simulated the experiments with the use of COMSOL Multiphysics to validate results.
  • Created a technical paper and a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation given to a large group of peers.
