Execution of Simulation Consulting Projects and Demo Projects Customer Support: FEA simulations and CAD preparation Testing and validation of new FEA features

Development of Finite Element Method (FEM) program in C++ to predict tyre’s thermodynamic behaviour Coupe the developed FEM code to the Mechanical software

Product design and fabrication – Design, validate, and manufacture suspension and driving systems of a formula-type electric-powered car Team management – Manage a suspension team: distributing tasks, dealing with new members, and integrating the team. External – Capture resources, raise funds, and look for partnerships

Build an embedded system that captures an audio signal from a car’s internal combustion engine and through digital signal processing detect failures on the vehicle. My role on this project was process the signal, firstly in MATLAB and then in a microcontroller using C language. Build a device that calculates the alcohol composition in a tube through its capacitance. My part on this project was to program the NI CompactRIO Platform in LabVIEW.
