Today I’ll go through the thingsContinue reading “Gilgamesh Cosplay”

Dog Scanning

In the spirit of both learning new skills and trying to be more creative in my off-work time, I decided to try and 3D print one of my dogs as an anniversary gift for my wife. I knew I would need to do a 3D scan, and started looking into possible ways to go aboutContinue reading “Dog Scanning”

My name is Jack Schomer, I have a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Ohio State University, and I operated the first SLA 3D printer ever installed on the International Space Station.Continue reading “A Brief Introduction”

Designing with Sensors- the importance of Interface over Implementation

Today I’m going to talk about something near and dear to my heart- sensor selection and integration. My Master’s thesis and my most cited published work focus on embedding fiber optic sensors directly into functional metal parts. I won’t be talking too much about sensor specs- that’s something that should be discussed on an individualContinue reading “Designing with Sensors- the importance of Interface over Implementation”

Cooking With AI- using a recurrent neural network to generate recipes

This is a living record of my attempts to teach a computer how to cook, and will be updated as time permits. The post was originally authored 3/9/2021, dealing with work that I had done previously in 2020. With the release of Tensorflow 2.0, it has become easier than ever to foray into machine learningContinue reading “Cooking With AI- using a recurrent neural network to generate recipes”
