Homepage - Theoreticalibus - Software - Experimentation - Junk - About me



Hello everyone and welcome to my personal website!

My name is Stefano Boccelli and this website collects (mostly) my free-time projects, starting pretty much from the beginning of my Master's studies in Aeronautical/Aerospace engineering, back in 2013. Now, I do Research for a living, so you might come across some sciencey pages here and there.

Also, please forgive my broken English. Most of the times I don't really spell-check what I write. In any case, for any question or suggestion, feel free to e-mail me and I will be happy to get back to you ASAP!

✈ For my work-related stuff, check out my more serious website. A list of my scientific publications is available on my Google Scholar profile.

✈ For the Pinguino Lecture Series website: click here.




Theoreticalibus - Some theoretical stuff: MSc and RM thesis, publications and some additional material with a somehow more theoretical orientation.

Software - Here, you can find some scripts/programs, mainly in Octave/MATLAB or C++, or computer-related stuff. Mostly engineering-related.

Experimentation and real stuff - Some realizations: from 30-Newton-MAX load cell for aerodynamic forces, measuring load spectra on a bicicle frame, high vacuum and plasmas, spectroscopy etc.

Junk - Something that doesn't fit elsewhere. No warranty on quality for this material! :-)
