Development engineer for inverter applications, mainly motor drives, and design passive components around the inverter by means of simulations. Prototype building. Testing experience with high voltages and high power. Control and applications by means of Matlab- Simulink Control of electrical machines for testing benches High speed electric motors. Buck-boost DCDC converters Resonant converters

Period for Master Thesis in colaboration with FH Joanneum. "FOC in drones and Optimal current FOC solution for non-sinusoidal motor drives". FOC is the technique intended to be used and taken under study. Building a HW platform suitable for drones with its corresponding SW and investigating for optimal current solutions by means of the same technique are covered in this work. Software development tools used for C programming EAGLE for hardware development Matlab and PLECS for simulations

Within the University frame I worked in projects related to electronics, control and code generation Control of a PMSM motor FOC algorithm with MicroAutobox from dSpace. C Code generation from Matlab simulink Model based design for electric and electronic components in Matlab-Simulink. Such as DC/AC, DC/DC converters, electric motors and grid among others Matlab-Simulink for vhdl code generation for FPGAs Vivado HLS for vhdl generation from C code
