EDUCATION
- Electrical and Mechanical Engineer, Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria,
Lima, Peru, 1945. Thesis: "Design Conditions for an Amateur Radio Station".
All the operating conditions of an amateur radio station are analyzed for
their influence on the design of the equipment. An example is presented
of a station designed and built by the author.
- M.S., The University of Iowa, Iowa City,
Iowa, 1968. Thesis: "Direct Synthesis Procedure for Servo Systems". A computer
analysis of the parametric characteristics of servo systems yields a procedure
for synthesizing such systems obtaining the required open loop characteristics
from the desired closed loop specifications.
- Ph.D., The University of Iowa, Iowa City,
Iowa, 1972. Dissertation: "Computer Monitoring of Electric Power Systems".
Power systems are represented by a large number of simultaneous equations.
By a clever arrangement of variables and the procedure of propagation of
knowledge, the author converts the model into a smaller number of equations
in sequential form, which permits obtaining all the variables of the system
in real time, using a small computer.
