    For background on my research and tutoring, you can find some on my website: michellecmiller.com I best work at creating custom curricula for students in need of individualized learning - often times teaching courses that are atypical for homeschooled students or who have interest in pursuing particular topics. However, I also work well preparing students for standardized tests (AP, SAT, college courses). I have many years of computational modeling experience in various fields including cosmology/astrophysics, accelerator physics, computational neuroscience, immunology, machine learning applications, and more.

    Develop complete ‘testing systems’ consisting of LabVIEW applications paired with custom MCU-based circuitry to automate the electrical, thermal, and optical testing of all luminaires. Notable projects include: >End of Line Tester I: Developed a custom PCB capable of diagnosing any incorrect wiring operation performed during the assembly process. Resulted in a 95% reduction in measurement hardware costs compared to the proposed off-the-shelf solution. PCB with LabVIEW executable deployed to all 53 production lines assembling light fixtures. >End of Line Tester II: Designed a custom circuit capable of diagnosing assembly wiring, safely switching on the luminaire via a 120-300VAC external AC Source, and measuring AC Power at various programmed lumen levels. Includes hardware for 0-10V, DALI, and Phase Dimming Protocols, and works for single or two-circuit configurations. All features tested on benchtop, design sent to PCB Manufacturer for final device creation. 90% cost reduction compared to off-the-shelf solution. >Thermal Interface Tester: 80x64 Infrared Array tied to LabVIEW executable used to validate proper assembly of all downlight products. >Automatic Driver Evaluator: LabVIEW executable tied to various seriallycapable meters and power output devices used to validate the electrical performance of any LED driver. >Electrothermal Data Acquisition (DAQ): LabVIEW executable tied to custom MCU-based dimming circuitry (0-10V, DALI, or Phase) used to monitor the electrical and thermal properties of a fully-assembled luminaire over time. Program will auto-shutdown after reaching temperature stabilization, and can be used in a 'Ramp-Up' mode to detect the maximum output current possible before crossing a temperature threshold. Used in a UL-certified onsite lab.

    Hello, my names Stefan. *5+ years' experience with Rhino modeling *Enjoy problem solving and collaborating on issues *Rhino to AI + Photoshop workflow *Timely, reliable communication I’m a designer who loves shaping space — not just visually, but emotionally and experientially. My work lives at the intersection of architecture, storytelling, and 3D modeling, where ideas become tactile, spatial environments. I focus on projects that are grounded in purpose: schools, public spaces, and modular structures that respond to climate, terrain, and people. My 3D modeling process is closely tied to how materials behave, how light moves, and how spaces feel when walked through. Whether it’s a conceptual massing study or a fully detailed Rhino model, I bring intention and clarity to every step. I enjoy collaborating with teams who care about thoughtful design, clear visuals, and making things that matter. If that sounds like you, let’s build something together.
