Juris Grigs

Worked on visualization methods for feature extraction of flow fields Developed an interactive graphics framework system for vector field visualization and exploration using C++ and OpenGL shaders Utilized GPU parallel computing capabilities for graphics and general compute applications

Designed antennas for various applications (WiFi, heat energy harvesting) using Ansys HFSS Fabricated and tested them using different tools (printed circuit board (PCB) LPKF machine, 3D printers, soldering station, anechoic chamber, vector network analyzer (VNA), probe station) Worked in the cleanroom with various industrial level machines (electron-beam lithography, spin-coating, metal sputtering, material deposition, etching)

Conducted physics experiments in the area of magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) using liquid metals and electromagnets for applications of purifying previously used high-grade silicon for reuse in solar panels for energy harvesting Constructed the experimental apparatus working with high electrical currents and water-cooling system, taking into consideration all safety precautions
