Summary
Daniel Nichols is a controls engineer and hands-on experimentalist with 11+ years applying physics and embedded systems to measurement and environment control challenges. He designs and builds sensors, monitors, and electromechanical systems—most recently a bio-safe room atmosphere monitor and conditioner—bringing deep practical experience from national labs, academia, and product consulting. As a long-time professor of electrical engineering he pairs advanced classroom teaching (from DSP and microcontrollers to VHDL and LabVIEW) with mentorship of senior projects and robotics teams. His background includes physics research at top facilities (Brookhaven, Argonne, NHMFL) and a PhD in physics, giving him uncommon fluency across instrument design, controls, and the underlying science. Based in Baton Rouge, he seeks roles building custom sensors and data acquisition systems for physics research.
