Digital Twin Development of an Educational Microscope
Objective
Develop a digital twin of a microscope to simulate its behavior and support educational and demonstrative use, in partnership with the LEM3 laboratory (Laboratory of Microstructure Studies and Mechanics of Materials).
Key Contributions
- Collaborated with industrial partners to understand the physical principles, functional requirements, and mechanical architecture of microscope systems.
- Developed a digital twin integrating 3D modeling and dynamic simulations to replicate component behavior and system interactions.
- Created simulation-based usage scenarios to illustrate real operating conditions and enhance pedagogical applications.
AI-Driven Workflow Automation
Objective
Design and implement an automated workflow using AI-based tools to improve operational efficiency for a real client — identifying bottlenecks and replacing manual processes with an intelligent, scalable pipeline.
Key Contributions
- Analyzed client processes to identify critical bottlenecks and opportunities for automation in operational workflows.
- Designed and implemented an automated pipeline using AI tools and n8n (low-code workflow automation platform), enabling task orchestration and data processing.
- Deployed and tested the solution on real client data, improving process reliability and reducing manual intervention.
Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System — Modeling and Experimental Optimization
Objective
Design, build, and analyze a scaled electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) to model and optimize launch dynamics under controlled conditions — spanning physics modeling, hardware construction, and experimental data analysis over two years.
Key Contributions
- Developed and validated a physics-based model of an electromagnetic aircraft launcher to predict velocity and performance, using experimental data for iterative calibration.
- Integrated position sensors and developed custom algorithms to derive real-time velocity and acceleration data, enabling the extraction of key flight parameters.
- Designed and built a scale electromagnetic launcher (aluminum frame, coils, power electronics, motion sensors) enabling repeatable high-speed tests for performance benchmarking and system optimization.
