software Picture My most current research efforts have been centered around developing software for both physics and pedagogical needs. I have had the help of a number of students in this effort including the one pictured here and we have presented the results of our work at conferences and in technical presentations in the corporate environment.

The code I have developed includes video processing routines that work within the LabVIEW environment as well as a number of LabVIEW virtual instruments that interface with Vernier data acquisition interface used in science teaching laboratories. More recently I have developed code for weight and balance calculations for general aviation aircraft. If you would like a copy of this software, drop me an Email and I will make it available to you. I do not distribute it without talking with the end user as it has data in it for a particular set of aircraft and is only applicable to these airplanes. If you are interested in flying and making calculations of this sort, drop me a note and I will send you the code.
