Developed Softwares
-
Virtual Neutron Experiment (VNE)
This software is a friendly GUI to run virtual neutron experiments in precompiled McStas instruments. Currently, VNE only includes a SANS instrument (with eight standard samples), and I am working now to add more instruments and to make it multi-platform (Python-based). The spirit of this application is to allow the user to free build Neutron's instrument setting up each component and their associated properties. The idea is that the user learns about some concretes aspect of a real experiment.

-
AFM Tools
Program for data analysis of Atomic Force Microscopy. Among other things, this software allows batch conversion of input files with formats SPMLab I and NanoScope III to multiple output formats: Tecplot (plt), ASCII DAT, Tiff, BMP, JPG, PNG.

-
Minkowski Calculator
This program allow calculate the three first Minkowski functionals on a input system (eg: experimental data). Also, allow simulate a system with N random points in a definible box.
