Expertise
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.
