Riccardo Fontanini
I'm an electronic engineer graduated at University of Udine. Now I'm attending the 2nd level (Master degree) course of electronic engineering. I also worked on IoT solutions and designed Cloud based system. I have been collaborating with Microsoft as Microsoft Student Partner since 2016. This site aims to collect projects that I worked on. You can use all material on this site, you can also write me on social: Facebook and Linkedin. Also you can follow me on Github
Projects
Semi-empirical transistor simulations for ultra low voltage operation
This project aims to simulate a short-channel MOSFET transistor model for low voltage applications. SIMetrix has been chosen as simulator for this work. A special thank to my supervisor Tommaso Rollo.
Rogowski coils
Study on Rogowski coils for high current sensor applications.
Humidity Sensor
Creation of humidity sensor based on Copper capacitor. This device is designed to work at high temperatures (> 500 K)
Project Unearth
Project Unearth is a study concerning use of radar for mine detection. This work focuses on the applicability of drone detection.
Development of AES Processor (128, 192, 256 bit) Multicore on FPGA
Implementation of AES encryption standard 128, 192 and 256 bits, with dynamic Sbox, based on AES paper, "A Highly Regular and Scalable AES Hardware Architecture" article of Stefan Mangard and "An ASIC Implementation of the AES SBoxes" article of Johannes Wolkerstorfer, Elisabeth Oswald, and Mario Lamberger. This Project has been modified to implement ciphers' parallelism and some improvements to speed up encryption and decryption.
Computer Security - Backdoor hardware software
Project of computer security based on Backdoors software and hardware.
Exercises on FPGA
Some exercises to improve my skills on FPGA programming (VHDL). I used Atlys Spartan-6 FPGA ( Xilinx Spartan-6 LX45 )
Data analysis on books
Elaboration, classification and data analysis on books. I used most common data analysis tools of python's environment. After cleaning and visualizing data I worked on classification of books. Very impotant thing is the suggestion engine based on random forest algorithm.
CUDA elaboration
Elaboration data on GPUs (language C) is one of the most important way to speedup algorithms, data analysis, neural networks and cellular automata. CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model developed by NVIDIA for general computing on graphical processing units (GPUs). With CUDA, developers are able to dramatically speed up computing applications by harnessing the power of GPUs.
MIPS implementation in VHDL
MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by MIPS Technologies . This is an implementation in VHDL.
Thesis project - SISTEMA DI INTERFACCIAMENTO BASATO SU BOT PER APPLICAZIONI STRUTTURATE A MICROSERVIZI
This is my first thesis project SISTEMA DI INTERFACCIAMENTO BASATO SU BOT PER APPLICAZIONI STRUTTURATE A MICROSERVIZI means (interfacing system based on BOT for microservices based applications). It's a interface that allow you to run all kind of programs on a system and interact with them through a BOT, that interfaces on common social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Telegram and so on... Is based on Microsoft Bot Framework.
