Hey, I'm Charlie, a research engineer working at the seam of hardware and software: high-speed cameras, neuromorphic sensors, and the systems that make them useful. Currently at Imperial College London and co-founder of Averon Scientific.

Work

DART

Auto-tracking high-speed camera for motion-capture labs

Reads a live motion-capture feed and re-aims a two-mirror optical path at up to 500 Hz to keep a fast, unpredictable subject framed and sharp. Started at Imperial, now a product at Averon Scientific.

Project

Isaac Event Vision

Neuromorphic DVS plugin for NVIDIA Isaac Lab

The first event-camera sensor to run inside Isaac Lab's GPU-parallel RL loop, rather than offline. Sub-frame events from RTX motion vectors, validated against v2e across several motion types.

Microfluidic focusing chip (CAD render)
Project

Germ-Cell Sorter

Microfluidic fluorescence-activated sorter for primordial germ cells

A microfluidic cell sorter (µFACS) I built to focus cells in a chip, pick out GFP-tagged primordial germ cells by their fluorescence, and sort them with a gentle pressure pulse. My Imperial MEng final-year project.

Coming soon

OpenMV Ground Robot

Vision-driven ground robot for a teaching module

A ground robot I designed around the OpenMV vision camera for a hands-on teaching module. Full write-up coming soon.
