Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBruno Agostini is a Principal Scientist based in Zurich with over nine years of industry experience designing and transferring advanced cooling solutions for power electronics across products like drives, solar inverters, transformers and circuit breakers. He combines hands-on Python development (notably contributing geometry and wire-assembly improvements to the CadQuery CAD scripting project) with deep experimental and theoretical expertise in two-phase loops, pulsating heat pipes and absorption cooling, and has shepherded multiple research-to-product transfers. Author of 63 patents and 53 publications, he leads multi-million dollar projects, manages university collaborations, and directs additive manufacturing applications for thermal systems. Trained as a PhD mechanical engineer with a background in nuclear engineering, he brings rare cross-disciplinary fluency that bridges lab-scale boiling experiments to scalable industrial products.

Contributions summary:Bruno primarily focused on modifying the `shapes.py` file, which appears to be a core component of the cadquery framework, specifically related to wire assembly and plate generation. Their commits involved updating the `Wire.assembleEdges` method to handle unordered edge lists, adding error handling for potential issues during wire construction, and implementing and testing `interpPlate` functionality and related examples. These changes suggest a focus on improving the underlying geometry construction capabilities of the library.
