Hardware in the Loop Simulation of an Electric Vehicle Powertrain

A hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation is a cost and time effective method to develop a simulation environment of an electric vehicle's powertrain. Control algorithms can be programmed into a digital signal processor and tested with real-time simulations of electrical machines and power electronic converters, eliminating the need for developing...

Real time distributed simulation of BGP on the entire current Internet topology and Internet-like topologies

The Border Gateway Protocol is critical for the correct working of the Internet. When it fails the impact is usually high and therefore failures should be minimized. Unfortunately the configuration of BGP is prone to errors. Besides that, BGP is targeted by attacks of cyber criminals. A simulator capable of running BGP can reduce the number of...

Networked System - A Food Hub for Paris

The project aims to deal with the problem of food production and transportation within big metropolitan areas, in this case the city of Paris. The main goal of the project is to develop a new model of urban agriculture capable of working both at a global and local scale. The idea is to integrate a model for the intensive production of food, such...

Highly Connected Framework - An Algae Eco-Platform for Venice.

This architectural project is set in Venice and it is an attempt to save this town from flooding and the collapsing on itself. The strategy of the project is mainly based on the use of the invasive algae that are growing in the lagoon creating ecologic disequilibria to produce energy and other kind of goods. The main focus of the project is the...
