An Open-Source Multifunctional Testing Platform for Optical Phase Change Materials

In this project I helped Cosmin in Prof Juejun Hun’s group to design custom PCBs to test phase change materials intended for use in optical circuit elements. These materials have different dielectric constants depending on how fast they are cooled using embedded heating elements.
