Overview
Not all projects need to be huge research ones — some of the most useful (and fun) were small exercises during classes. They were opportunities to learn new tools, test ideas quickly, and explore different ways of thinking. You can find all my projects on my Github page : https://github.com/N1kor4. Here are a few highlights:
Angle of a droplet (Python)
A short project in fluid mechanics: measuring and simulating the contact angle of a water droplet on a surface. It introduced me to image analysis and how physics meets coding.
Tetris Game (Python)
A playful side project: coding a Tetris game from scratch, later made playable directly in a browser window. It was less about reinventing the wheel and more about improving my logic, structuring a project, and getting a first taste of interactive applications.
MATLAB simulations
- Electromagnetic waveguide modeling
- Magnetic train levitation study
These were my first steps using MATLAB for physics, and I enjoyed how fast it can turn equations into actual simulations.
LabVIEW initiation
Small-scale scripts to get started with LabVIEW, mainly for simple data acquisition and instrument control. A useful introduction to graphical programming for labs.
Python utilities
Automation scripts for plotting and data processing. Nothing too fancy, but incredibly practical when working with repetitive experimental results.
Reflection
These projects may not be “big” in scope, but they were building blocks: each one taught me something new, whether it was physics, coding, or simply a smarter way of solving problems. They also shaped the way I approach bigger projects later on.
