Responsibility across the system

I developed the power and control electronics, PCB and firmware, together with thermal management and enclosure arrangement. The engineering work included maintaining stable operation under temperature changes and short-circuit conditions while addressing losses and output noise.

Control, and a way to observe it

I developed the control in MATLAB/Simulink and deployed it to an STM32H743 using Embedded Coder. CAN provided monitoring and control. I also wrote a C# utility for sending commands, displaying live data, recording logs and reviewing earlier runs.

Bench validation to customer delivery

Bench work covered output regulation, short-circuit and overload protection, sudden load changes and prolonged operation, alongside loss and noise evaluation. Prototype revisions led to a finished product delivered to the customer.

My involvement extended to commissioning and troubleshooting. I sought specialist control advice where useful and retained responsibility for the final design and implementation.

Two operating modes, one control unit

I designed the electronics, PCB and embedded firmware for startup control, excitation control and generator-voltage regulation across the machine’s operating modes.

Hardware and control developed together

My work included prototype assembly, board bring-up, testing and system integration. I developed and deployed the control using MATLAB/Simulink and Embedded Coder on the TI TMS320F2812/C2000 platform, with CAN supervision.

Delivery and commissioning

The unit progressed through prototype development to a completed product delivered to the customer. I also supported commissioning and technical interaction around the system. Specialist consultation supported the control work; responsibility for the final design and implementation remained with me.

Direct control of execution timing

I developed the power hardware and embedded firmware for the three-motor system. Deterministic execution and timing-sensitive signal acquisition were central to the implementation.

I wrote the firmware manually to retain direct control of execution timing, integrating sensorless operation, power regulation and protective functions in the bare-metal control system. The project progressed through prototype development to a completed final design.

A defined subsystem contribution

I developed STM32F0 firmware for the electrode-impedance subsystem, integrating it with existing hardware. My contribution included channel sequencing, DFT-based signal analysis for contact evaluation, and board bring-up.

I completed the embedded firmware for integration with the wider system. Other departments remained responsible for the remaining system work, including PC software.

Commands, pulses and synchronization

I developed and brought up STM32G0 firmware on existing photic-stimulation hardware. It received network commands, controlled light-stimulation frequency and intensity, generated pulses, and synchronized stimulation with the recording device.

My contribution covered the embedded control and communication integration. The firmware was completed for integration with the wider recording system; the remaining system work was mainly PC software handled by other departments.

Stimulus and response in both directions

I designed and brought up an STM32H745-based platform with CAN, RS232, 4–20 mA, RTD and thermocouple interfaces.

The platform changed generated signals in response to PC commands and forwarded outputs from the device under test back to the PC. My contribution covered the electronics, hardware bring-up and embedded/interface foundation supporting that exchange. The hardware was completed and usable for testing.

Hardware and firmware ownership

I completed a commissioned BLDC controller using TI TMS320F28377D, with responsibility for the electronics, PCB, embedded firmware and system bring-up.

TI C2000 commissioned work

Across this controller and a separate DC-actuator/data-acquisition commission, I implemented dual-core firmware, inter-core communication and CLA tasks.

Integration with existing electronics

I completed firmware and bring-up for a TMS320F28377D-based data-acquisition and DC-actuator system on existing hardware, implementing closed-loop control with resolver feedback.

TI C2000 commissioned work

Across this system and a separate BLDC-controller commission, I implemented dual-core firmware, inter-core communication and CLA tasks.

From simulation to physical testing

For my MSc at Amirkabir University of Technology, I designed and experimentally tested a sensorless BLDC drive powered by photovoltaic sources. The work combined MATLAB/Simulink modelling with power electronics, PCB development and STM32 firmware, taking the drive from simulation to physical implementation and testing.
