Goals:
I am a R&D engineer specialized in modeling complex multibody systems and creating custom MBD libraries in FORTRAN, Dymola and Matlab. Currently working on developing a real time MBD library for a racing car simulator.
Knowledge and expertises include
Physics and Simulation: modeling a wide range of multibody dynamic systems, suspension systems, engine power systems.
Mathematics for Machine Learning and optimization: sensitivity analysis of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations, tangent linear and adjoint models, backward propagations for neural networks
Control: linear, non-linear, adaptive control .
