Below I list some of the tools I am familiar with

Electrical and magnetics modelling

During my studies at Politecnico di Milano, I have learnt how to model physical systems. More specifically, I have learnt how to model electrical machines (DC, induction and synchronous) as well as electronic circuits (with operational amplifiers, BJTs, diodes and MOSFETs). I am familiar with time domain and frequency domain analysis for circuits

  • Circuit simulation and analysis in LTSpice IV
  • Electrical and magnetic field steady state simulation in Finite Element Method Magnetics
  • Dynamic behaviour modelling of electrical and electromechanical systems (electrical machines) in Matlab/Simulink

CAD tools

I enjoy drawing parts and designing PCBs. I have learnt how to use CAD tools on my own by drawing some parts, starting from the easiest one and then increasing the difficulty. For AutoDesk Eagle instead, I learnt how to use the program by designing and realizing a PCB for a hobby application.

  • LibreCAD for 2D CAD drawings
  • AutoDesk Eagle for PCB design (currently switching to KiCad)
  • I am learning how to use DesignSpark Mechanical and Electrical

Programming languages

I enjoy the application of programming languages to automation, be it simple data analysis or automation of measurements, instruments or actuators.

  • LabVIEW. I developed and tested an application to trace IV and CV characteristics entirely in LabVIEW
  • Matlab/Simulink. I really enjoy the modelling of dynamic systems using Simulink block diagrams
  • R. I am very familiar with dplyr and the main data manipulation packages
  • Python. I am very familiar with numpy, Scikit-learn, Pandas and Matplotlib
  • Wiring (Arduino). I learnt most of Wiring by tinkering with Arduino in my free time
  • C++. I have a basic knowledge of C++, for example I made a simple implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform in C++

OS

I grew up using Windows but then I found out I also enjoy using Linux (Ubuntu), so I can use both depending on what I need to do.

Professional hardware/tools I am familiar with

I am familiar with the following instruments

  • Oscilloscope: Rigol DS1054Z (my oscilloscope)
  • Voltage sources: Yokogawa 7651, TTI QL355TP, Keithley 6487, ISEG NHQ223M (HV source)
  • Picoammeter Keithley 6485 and 6487
  • Sub-femtoamp Remote SourceMeter Keithley 6430
  • Miscellaneous: Agilent 34970A
