Devin got his start in the Jaffe lab as part of an undergraduate engineering design project. He joined the lab as an engineer after receiving a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UCSD in 2013 and has continued on ever since. His work with the lab includes underwater autonomous vehicles, control algorithm tuning, electrical and mechanical design for underwater imaging systems, and fabrication and assembly.
Pichaya has been a student in the Jaffe Lab since 2016. His research focuses on developing imaging platforms for ecological studies. He is currently working on an in situ imaging system for marine microogainsms and a low-cost imaging platform for zooplankton. Originally from Thailand, Pichaya received his B.S. in General Engineering with an Emphasis in Environmental Analysis from Harvey Mudd College, CA. He is currently working towards his PhD in Oceanography, which he is expected to complete in 2021.
Kevin has been apart of the Jaffe Lab since 2017 when he first began doing work on an undergraduate machine learning project. He joined the lab as an Application Programmer for a year after receiving a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering (ECE) from UC San Diego and then worked in the industry developing machine learning models. He has now returned to the lab to do deep learning/computer vision research for our underwater cameras, as part of his M.Sc in ECE, again at UC San Diego. Kevin hopes to finish his M.Sc. work in 2020.
