Hi floss.social. Just moved in from https://fosstodon.org/@ygor

I'm an #ElectricalEngineer from #Brazil, currently living in #France for many years. I work as a #SoftwareDeveloper, writing proprietary software for #microfluidics (I do wish I could work on #FreeSoftware for a living instead). My favorite programming language is #rustlang, but I use/have used about a dozen other languages, they're alright. I'm also a fan of #animation.

#introduction

I guess I never introduced myself, so here goes:

Exciting News: I am thrilled to announce that our latest journal article‚ “Design and Characterization of a Magnetic Silicone Peristaltic Pump With Multiphysics Modeling” is now available via IEEE Xplore in IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.

In this article, we report on the development of a magnetic peristaltic pump for #microfluidics, #bioengineering or #medicine that does not require rollers and thus reduces abrasion and mechanical stress.
