Industrial Engineer Electrics and Electronics. Specialization in advanced control techniques, power electronics and optical electronics. Thesis project 1: Fuzzy logic control of overhead cranes. A scaled model of an overhead crane was built and controlled with fuzzy logic. A mathematical model was calculated for simulation in Mathlab. In real time, a vector drive controlled an asynchronous motor that moved the load from one place to another while the fuzzy logic controller prevented the load from swinging during acceleration and deceleration or external actuators. Thesis project 2: Fuzzy logic control of the reverse pendulum. A mathematical model was calculated for simulation in Mathlab. In real time, the fuzzy logic controller kept the pendulum up straight and prevented it from tumbling over.
