Modelling, Identification and Control of Robots

Lecturer: Luigi Biagiotti, Roberto Zanasi, Laura Giarrè

Program:
The course introduces the theory of optimal predictive control (Model Predictive Control), starting from the formulation of the optimal control problem with quadratic cost for linear systems (LQ control). The main stability and persistent feasibility results will be illustrated using numerical examples and applications in the automotive and Matlab toolboxes such as MPT and MPC toolbox.

The “Wide” Advantage in Power Electronics

Lecturer: Nicolò Zagni

Schedule:
February 13-15-20-22 2024
09.00 AM -12.00 PM
Meeting Room MO27 Building - 1st Floor

Program:

The course introduces students to the performance improvement that power electronic circuits can achieve by taking advantage of the “wide-band-gap” semiconductor technologies.

Gallium-Nitride and Silicon-Carbide based devices recently entered the market but they are expected to replace in a near future the conventional Silicon-based devices that represent nowadays the mainstream technology.

The course will cover the following topics:

  1. Power electronics and its applications/markets, wide-band gap semiconductors, figures of merit, basic power switching converters
  2. SiC and GaN devices: operating principles, power transistors structures
  3. Stability and Reliability of GaN HEMTs, trapping effects, trapping mechanisms, measurement techniques
  4. Advanced research topics: hole redistribution model, breakdown mechanisms, partial Ron recovery, vertical GaN devices, ultra wide-band gap devices

Exam:
Written Test

IP4Engineers

Lecturer: Isabella Ferrari

Schedule:
May 2024

Program:
This course examines the interaction between law and engineering, in order to provide students with an interdisciplinary perspective on nowadays global challenges. The course will deeply touch on the so-called 'Law by design' approach, comparing efficient solutions set by governments, parliaments and technical players on the domestic and the international stage.

Semiclassical and quantum mechanical foundations of modern nanoscale FET device operation

Lecturer: Luca Selmi

Schedule:
June/July 2024
mec./gio./ven ore 9.30-11.30 a partire dal 19/06/2024 e fino al 05/07/2024 incluso
Sala riunioni MO26 primo piano

Program:
Based on a succinct and highly focused review of a few key concepts of quantum mechanics the course will introduce the foundations of the semi-classical approach to nanoscale electron device modeling. Selected elements of quantum mechanics are merged with classical electrostatics and transport theory to yield a state of the art description of advanced nanoscale FET. Conventional, strained and alternative channel materials, quasiballistic transport in a 2D or 1D electron gas, FinFET, double gate FDSOI, nanowire, nanosheet and nanofork gate all around device architectures will be addressed.
