Key research and development projects

Software and Hardware Development

microMorph is a GUI application written in C/C++ to calculate the shape morphology and size of objects from the particle map provided by sIMPle (https://simple-plastics.eu/). It provides a graphical interface to inspect particles and their respective shape characteristics. Link to application. Programmer and developer: Rasmus Nielsen and Fan Liu.

shapeLib (Nielsen, 2020). DLL library written in C/C++ for the Systematic Identification of MicroPLastics in the Environment (siMPle) program, https://simple-plastics.eu/. The library calculates the sizes and shapes of particles and detects fiberlike structures. Source code. Programmer: Rasmus Nielsen.

Sensor development: System design, implementation, and tests: Experienced with programming of PLC’s in C/C++ code. Built hardware, designed, and coded multiple low-cost remotely sensed PLC devices to collect measurements of, e.g., light, temperature, distance and more from 2016 to the present. See Nielsen and Thorndahl (2017), poster, and source code. Programmer and designer: Rasmus Nielsen.

Data analysis and visualization: Years of experience with data analysis and representation using Python, MATLAB, GIS, and various other applications. Used to present data visually in a dynamic way for presentations and online publications.
