Design of a monitoring system to collect data for all devices of a solar power plant. Statistical analysis of the performance of the plant and modelling the production. I have experience in write profesional performance reports of solar power plants

Computer simulations of colloidal glasses

I studied the effect of long range repulsive interactions in structural and kinetic properties of 2D/3D colloidal simulations. I started to study glass transitions and I performed brownian dynamic simulations of arrested systems in a collaboration with Emanuella Zaccarelli from University La Sapientza (Rome).

I performed molecular dynamic simulations of 2D colloidal system (particles trapped at the air/water interface). I studied the dependence of the structural and kinetic properties of the systems with different variables. Voronoi diagrams, Ornstein-Zerike equations and Smoluchowsky equations were used to this propose.

I started to work analyzing the stability and aggregation dynamic of polystyrene colloidal systems in 3D (bulk) and 2D (liquid/fluid interface). I used experimental technics as Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS-Malvern 4700) , white light confocal microscopy, contrast phase microscopy. The main result was to found the experimental conditions to spontaneously form colloidal mesostructures.
