Inspiration
The current experiments being conducted with CFI TRESI are on the cutting edge of biochemistry. The goal of my program is to fill a new niche that has not existed before: simulating the protein peaks in these experiments. By automating the mathematical calculations and data table creation, my hope was to make these experiments more efficient to conduct.
What it does
This program reads in a text file containing fixed hardware specifications and asks the user to input other variable parameters. Afterwards, it performs calculations on this data and prints a formatted table that can be used to plot a graph simulating the experiment.
How I built it
I built this program using Java and my prior coding experience that I learned in my first two years of my ongoing computer science degree.
Challenges I ran into
The initial challenge I encountered was exporting the data table to a .csv file after the calculations were complete, so I decided to output the data in console instead.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of accurately and efficiently streamlining a large set of mathematical equations that would normally take very long to compute by hand and turning it into a program that can solve the problem in seconds.
What I learned
I learned how take data and format it into a neat table to be output as a series of Strings.
What's next for CFI TRESI Peak Shape Calculator
Future additions can include a built-in graphing software that can plot the data points immediately instead of having to transfer them to an Excel file.
