Chuck is a retired “manufacturing engineer” (computer geek), having worked for 32 years for Pratt & Whitney helping the real manufacturing engineers and machinists understand better what they were producing. I built lots of software tools for analyzing “as-manufactured” measurements and translating them into terms useful to adjust the processes as needed.

I use my house as a testbed for developing monitoring systems for the physical plant, and I (used to) use students at Hampshire College and (still use) UMass Amherst as testbeds for blathering on. Mostly, nowadays, I hold office hours at UMass Amherst’s M5 to help EE and CompE seniors solve problems with their capstone senior design project work.
