1999 2000 Dissertation subject “Tecniche di modulazione per l’alimentazione di motori multifase ad induzione con inverter a tensione impressa” (Complete Analysis and Comparative Study of Digital Vector Modulation Techniques for Dual Three-Phase AC Motor Drives)
This research, carried out in cooperation with CRF of Turin, is related to the project of a non-standard inverter (6 phases instead of 3) driving a 6-phase motor for automotive applications. My goal was to develop the PWM algorithm to drive the 12 switches of the 6-phase inverter and to implement it on an ALTERA device.
1994-1999
Attended College of Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. Electrical Engineering degree course, major in Industrial Automation.
