Blaine Ayotte and Bruce Pilvelait, Creare LLC
Will present a talk entitled:
Open-source Python library for Geospatial Analysis and Hearing Assessment Technology
Friday, February 4 at 4pm via ZOOM. Info is below.
Abstract: Creare LLC is an engineering research and development firm located in Hanover, New Hampshire. Creare provides industrial and government clients with their expertise in areas such as fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, electronics and software development, sensors and control systems, and CFD/FEA analysis. Examples of current projects at Creare include PODPAC, an open-source Python library to enable analysis of geospatial datasets, and an open-source hearing assessment platform. PODPAC is built to make analysis of heterogenous geospatial datasets simple, reproducible and cloud-compatible. The hearing assessment platform consists of an open-source mobile application (TabSINT) and proprietary hardware (WAHTS) that can conduct an automated diagnostic hearing test using sophisticated headphones, in effect they are both the “booth” and audiometer. The WAHTS’s inbuilt attenuation of background noise is comparable, and at certain frequencies, superior, to that obtained in many hospital audiological booths.
Bio: Dr. Blaine Ayotte joined Creare as an engineer in 2021. He has a bachelor’s degree from St. Lawrence University, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. from Clarkson University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His graduate work focused on keystroke dynamics, which is the study of users input text via their keyboards. In particular, he worked to reduce the number of characters that needed to be typed for accurate authentication. He developed new algorithms to enable fast and continuous user authentication for computer users. Dr. Ayotte also participated in the NSF Innovation Corp. program to determine if this research is commercially viable, and his advisors are currently pursuing commercialization of the developed technology.
Dr. Bruce R. Pilvelait directs Creare’s development of power system products for U.S. Army ground combat vehicles and also U.S. military space satellites. To support the U.S. Army’s next generation ground combat vehicles, he has led Creare’s development of electronic power conversion products which provide autonomous, fast, flexible, and accurate protection for electrical power distribution systems. These products will increase vehicle power system capacity and enable greater mission capability in the areas of sensors and weapons. He holds a doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Clarkson University, he is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Vermont, and he is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
