Oggetto: SOCIS project - Roberto Porcù

Dear all,

my name is Roberto Porcù and I would like to apply SOCIS 2013.

I've been a student of Maths Engineering at Politecnico di Milano since 2007

and i graduated last April. I'm specialized in Computational sciences for engineering.

During my university career I've been using

Octave for a wide range of goals, expecially for numerical computing.

I'm familiar also with C/C++ and all the most common tools belonging to the linux environment.

During and after the preparation of my thesis I've been developing

in Octave a solver for multi-dimensional classical mechanics problems

that uses some geometric integrators. It has been written with the same style of

the main functions already contained in Odepkg for Octave. I also presented

my work during last OctConf which took place at Politecnico di Milano.

The project idea "Geometric integrators for Hamiltonian Systems" presented in http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas is totally close

to what i've already done. So I'm willing to contribute to this project very much.

Joining in the SOCIS project would be a good motivation for me to

start contributing to this community.

I'm open to any further suggestion.

Best regards.

Roberto Porcù
