Sérgio is a PhD student Electrical and Computers Engineering at FEUP. He is also an invited lecturer at the department of electrical engineering at FEUP and researcher in SYSTEC- Institute of Systems and Robotics - Porto (ISR). He received the Masters Degree with major in Automation and specialization in Robotics from the University of Porto. During this time he participated in several engineering workshops, events and seminars. He finished the degree with a dissertation presentation with final grade of 17 out of 20. After the dissertation presentation he was invited to join the UPWIND project (A Multi-Kite System to Harvest High Altitude Wind Power), that aims for airborne wind energy systems. The main task here is to implement a controller for a kite, using an autopilot. The main results obtained in the project were - Adaption of UPWIND guidance algorithm on Ardupilot software; - Control and simulation of the kite with JSBsim and MATLAB; - Kite parts selection and assembly; - Ground station CAD design, parts selection and assembly; - General hardware and sensors selection; - Development of two technical reports about the developed work; - 2 Publications related to the AWES.
