Printed Miniature Magnetic Probes

Eagle Harbor Technologies

At Eagle Harbor Technologies, one aspect of my work was to develop tools and diagnostics to support basic plasma physics research. This particular project involved the design of cheap, flexible, mass-produceable magnetic field probes for use in fusion experiments and beyond.

I had the chance to take an idea from concept to modeling to full prototypes, developing three different prototypes built using commercial manufacturing methods to provide a cheap alternative option to hand-wound coils. I designed the coil winding patterns based on the measurement requirements for the probe and worked with vendors to fabricate the designs using advanced flexible PCB and Aerosol Jet Deposition (ADJ) manufacturing technologies.
