Fernando Cladera Mechatronic Engineer
Welcome to my Website
My name is Fernando Cladera. I am a Mechatronic Engineer and Master in Embedded Systems. Pragmatic and innovative are the adjectives that describe me best: I always look into new ideas, methods and technologies to improve my projects and work.
In this page you will find information about my professional background, my publications, and some projects I have worked on. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Professional experience
Graduate Teaching Assistant
Microcontrollers and Power Electronics
UNCuyo
Read moreMicrocontrollers and Power Electronics is a compulsory course of the Mechatronics Engineer's Degree at UNCuyo. This course is centered on microcontroller theory, programming, microcontroller peripherals, serial bus communications, and fundamentals of power electronics.
As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I was responsible for the lecture about programmable logic devices and VHDL. Additionally, I develop PCB prototypes with microcontrollers and CPLDs.
Engineer Internship
Automatic Control Lab
UNCuyo
Read moreThe Automatic Control Lab (School of Engineering - UNCuyo) teaches process control methods to undergraduate students in mechatronics, industrial and petroleum engineering. In addition, the Lab does applied research in process control applications for petroleum and wine industries.
During this internship, I built three PLC trainers using Twido 20DTK modules. Students use these trainers to learn the basis of PLC and SCADA programming.
Research internship
Cairn Team
IRISA/Inria
Read moreThe Cairn project-team researches new architectures, algorithms and design methods for flexible and energy efficiency domain-specific system-on-chip (SoC).
The aim of this internship was to develop a fixed-point energy-optimized OFDM receiver. The energy savings were estimated in two platforms (FPGA, ARM7). Preliminary results show that up to 60% of the energy can be saved using this adaptive technique.
