-Unfortunately I did not do a very good job of keeping track of my accomplishments during this time. -I do want to highlight the following. -

- -

-During the beginning of lock-downs, I organized and hosted virtual "software development study groups" for Chemistry Department members. -These events were very well attended, indicating a strong interest in software within the Department. -

- -

-I was a virtual speaker at the University of Colorado Boulder. -

projects

XyloScope

- -

-In July 2020 we published a paper in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science: "The XyloTron: Flexible, Open-Source, Image-Based Macroscopic Field Identification of Wood Products". -This paper reports the invention of the XyloScope, an open-source handheld imaging system for identifying wood products. -I spent over a year collaborating with coauthors on this project. -My role was to design and construct the specialty illumination system contained within the imaging system, including options for white light or UV illumination. -This is my first time authoring a paper in my instrumentation technologist role. -See also the post on the shops website. -

safety orientation

- -

-In January 2021 I participated in safety orientation (Chem. 607) for new Graduate Students. -I created a presentation and narrated it, producing a video for Students to consume asynchronously (due to COVID). -I also uploaded a copy of this presentation to the shops website so that it may serve as an ongoing training resource. -

- -

undergraduate assistants

- -

-In late 2020 the shops were able to hire new undergraduate assistants. -I decided to try and shoot for higher-quality, more independent assistants. -I carefully wrote the job description to highlight the learning opportunities the undergraduates would have in this role. -I advertised the position widely, and received more than 25 applications---much more than previous years. -Importantly, we received many applications from students in engineering disciplines. -I designed and carried out an interview process, ultimately hiring two fantastic student assistants. -Working with Steve, I set up an organized system for planning out student jobs. -I'm proud to say that these new assistants are significantly more independent and useful. -

- -

appliance repair technician

- -

-In late 2020, I felt that renovation had proceeded enough to accommodate our planned-for appliance repair position. -Ultimately, this process involved coordination between myself, the Shops Committee Chair Tim Bertram, and the Research Chair Gil Nathanson. -Together we were able to convince the Department Executive Committee that this position needed to be filled. -In January 2021 the college essential staffing committee approved the position. -

- -

shoptalk mailing list

- -

-In March 2021 started a mailing list called "shoptalk" to engage with department community about shop issues. -More than 30 people immediately subscribed to the mailing list and it was a productive place to keep everyone informed. -

- -

professional development

- -

SciPy

- -

-Over the week of July 6th I virtually attended SciPy 2020, the scientific Python conference. -At this conference I attended several tutorials and talks, learning about new projects and technologies in the scientific Python ecosystem. -I lead a session at the conference: Driving Hardware for Instrumentation, which can now be watched on YouTube. -Perhaps more importantly, I was able to network with a number of industry and academic professionals who I now keep in touch with professionally. -

- -

Principles of Supervision and Management

- -

-In September I completed "Principles of Supervision and Management". -The course was very involved. -I learned about UW-Madison policies and procedures and general management strategies. -I took this course entirely remotely due to quarantine procedures. -This course was taken to prepare for managing the new appliance repair technician position. -

- - - -

appearance on US-RSE podcast

- -

-In February 2021 I appeared as a guest on the Podcast of the The US Research Software Engineer Association. -I was interviewed to provide a my perspective on the intersection between traditional research "shops" and emerging research software engineer positions. -This podcast is avaliable for anyone to listen to. -

blaise-cv/brag

- -
- -

-I have been inspired by several conversations to start and maintain a "brag document". -This is a place for me to compile a list of accomplishments with the explicit goal of getting my work recognized. -It's more detailed than a CV, in a way that's probably less-than-useful to anyone other than myself and those reviewing my efforts. -Please read Julia Evan's summary for more justification and history behind this idea: she does a much better job than I can here. -

- -

-My brag documents are organized here in reverse chronological order. -Each covers a period of time that roughly corresponds to one of my professional review periods. -In this way, I can refer directly to a given url when asked "what have you done since your last review?" -
