Student PCB design class, for MIT Resource Development
October 14, 2023

MIT students take part in a hands-on class building printed circuit boards (PCBs) during MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP). The class is EC.S03 / 6.S092 - The Art and Science of PCB Design, which according to the course website "teaches the basics of Printed-Circuit-Board (PCB) schematic design, layout engineering, population, and debugging." The end product is a bluetooth speaker. During this class, the students were populating the circuit boards with various components.

One of the last in-class photoshoots I had for MIT before leaving Boston was photographing this small PCB design class for undergrads. It’s always so interesting and fun to take pictures of a really hands-on class. 

Thanks to Barbara and Melissa for the assignment. I really miss wandering around the classrooms and labs of MIT.

For the Los Angeles Times, I spent an afternoon photographing tamales and food trucks around the Yakima Valley (“The Palm Springs of Washington”) for a story about the musical phenoms Yahritza y Su Esencia, who are from the region. The band had recently been on tour in Mexico and said they liked the food in their hometown of Yakima, Washington, better than the food in Mexico City. The band issued an apology, but it made people curious about what the food is like in Yakima. 

As it happens, I’ve been to Los Hernandez Tamales before, and let me tell you, the tamales are worth seeking out….

Form Energy's Iron-Air Battery, for Bloomberg Businessweek

Full-scale iron-air batteries stand in the full-scale battery testing area of the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Each orange enclosure holds one iron-air battery, the tall piece between orange walls enclosed in white, low-cost commodity plastic similar to what milk jugs are made of. A typical power plant built using these batteries would have tens of thousands of these batteries, according to Form Energy co-founder and CTO Billy Woodford. The batteries work by rusting and derusting an iron electrode inside the battery. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company." The company has developed an iron-air battery that stores energy for 100 hours and is aimed at replacing traditional powerplants by storing energy generated from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar. In this lab, the company develops and tests sub-scale and full-scale iron-air batteries. Other facilities operated by the company elsewhere in the US handle more full-scale production and testing of the batteries.
Billy Woodford, co-founder and CTO of Form Energy, is seen in the full-scale battery testing area in the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023.

A full-scale iron electrode lays on a rack before quality control analysis in the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Iron-air batteries work by pairing an air electrode with an iron electrode and rusting and derusting the iron electrodes.

Sub-scale iron-air batteries stand in a testing incubator in the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Each plastic container is a single miniature iron-air battery. The testing process in these incubators looks at the performance of different iron materials, duty cycles when the battery is charged and discharged, and performance of the battery at different temperatures. Once a battery configuration shows good performance in this testing environment, it is recreated at larger scale for further testing. The batteries work by rusting and derusting an iron electrode inside the battery. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company."

Full-scale iron-air batteries stand in the full-scale battery testing area of the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Each orange enclosure holds one iron-air battery, the tall piece between orange walls enclosed in white, low-cost commodity plastic similar to what milk jugs are made of. A typical power plant built using these batteries would have tens of thousands of these batteries, according to Form Energy co-founder and CTO Billy Woodford. The batteries work by rusting and derusting an iron electrode inside the battery. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company."

Pellets of "Direct Reduced Iron" are seen in the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. This porous form of iron is the lowest cost form of metallic iron available and is used to create the iron electrode in Form Energy's iron-air batteries. Among the benefits of Form Energy's technology is that it is produced with low-cost and safe materials compared to other types of batteries. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company." The company has developed an iron-air battery that stores energy for 100 hours and is aimed at replacing traditional powerplants by storing energy generated from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar.
