First contact with community + Entry test
Hello all,
My name is Erivelton Gualter and I am a second year PhD student at Cleveland State University. I am interested in contributing to MBDyn during this summer. So far, I started the entry test and have been playing around with the tool. Saying that, I would like to share that I am very interesting in the Embedded Optimization project. I already started writing the proposal, but I would like some feedback from the community related to timeline and workflow.
Related to the entry test, I prepared the following page summarizing what I have done: https://eriveltongualter.github.io/GSoC2019-MBDyn/entry-test.html
Additionally, all the code contained in this page can be download in my repository: https://github.com/EriveltonGualter/GSoC-MBDyn
As a brief introduction about myself, I am an enthusiastic Automation and Control Engineer graduated from FEI University in São Paulo, Brazil. During that time, I worked in the Robotic and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at FEI for 2 years programming robots to play soccer for a competition called Robocup. Additionally, I designed and built a power-assisted wheelchair that used muscle stimulation to control its movements in order to improve the life quality of the disabled population. I also studied abroad at Western Michigan University where I was a research assistant in the Computer Architecture and Systems Research Lab. My research experiences there include programming a microcontroller for automobile applications using C language. Last summer I had the opportunity to contribute to GNU Octave under Google Summer of Code where I had the opportunity to develop a Interactive Tool for Single Input Single Output (SISO) Linear Control System Design tool. You may check the documentation of the tool and the blog:
