I started using LaTeX in 2020 during my studies at Politecnico di Milano, and it has since become my main tool for academic writing. My current setup is based on Visual Studio Code with a small set of extensions and a growing collection of custom commands and snippets tailored to my workflow.
The material below is a curated selection of lecture notes and projects, highlighting examples of my typesetting and academic work rather than complete documents. Full documents are not publicly distributed; excerpts are shared for documentation purposes only.
A more detailed overview of my LaTeX setup is planned for a future Lab entry.
Lecture Notes
The following notes were developed during my Master’s studies and are written entirely in LaTeX. They are provided as partial excerpts as explained earlier.
Failure of Metals
Notes on mechanical failure in metallic systems, covering embrittlement, fracture mechanics, fatigue, creep, and experimental methods. The focus is on interpretation of failure mechanisms and limitations of engineering models.
Materials for Energy
Notes addressing materials challenges in energy applications, structured around degradation mechanisms, high-temperature behaviour, and design constraints in both conventional and renewable systems.
Mathematical Methods
Theoretical notes supporting continuum mechanics and materials modelling, including functional spaces, distributions, Fourier transforms, and partial differential equations.
Surface Engineering
Notes on surface phenomena and engineering treatments, including friction, lubrication, electroplating (chromium, zinc), and advanced coating technologies.
Metallic Materials and Product Innovation
Notes exploring advanced metallic systems and their role in product development, including shape memory alloys, superconductivity, thermoelectricity, additive manufacturing, and high-entropy alloys.
