Flavio Reggianini
Analog and power hardware. Field-coupled systems. Built from physical behavior upward.
I design hardware for systems where physical behavior, coupling, and transient response dominate over algorithmic control. Work spans analog circuits, sub-kilowatt power electronics, resonant and inductive wireless power, and the bench measurement of all three. Documented projects include measured behavior, declared limitations, and open problems.

Services
I help early-stage hardware teams understand and stabilize systems that behave differently in reality than on paper.
I provide focused technical support for analog, power, and field-driven designs, especially when physical behavior, stability, or constraints are unclear.
My work is best suited for situations where system behavior, stability, or physical constraints are unclear, and where standard reference designs or software-heavy approaches are not sufficient.
I work on well-defined technical problems, exploratory builds, and architecture-level decisions, not on general-purpose development or production-ready industrial design.
1 - Technical Analysis & System Diagnosis
When this is useful
- A system shows unstable, inefficient, or unpredictable behavior
- Transients, losses, or coupling effects dominate performance
- The physical behavior of the system is unclear or poorly modeled
What I do
- Analyze the system from a physical and architectural perspective
- Review schematics, models, and assumptions
- Identify the main limiting factors and failure modes
- Provide clear technical direction for next steps
Deliverables
- Technical review (call or written)
- Concise summary of findings and recommendations
A clear explanation of why the system behaves as it does, and what can realistically be improved, or not.
Scope note. This service focuses on analysis and diagnosis. It is intended to clarify system behavior and guide further development, rather than replacing full redesign, certification, or long-term implementation work.
Cost: 150-300€ (flat, depending on scope).
2 - Early-Stage Hardware Architecture & Prototyping Support
When this is useful
- The project is still in concept or early prototype phase
- Architectural decisions are not yet solid
- The system must work reliably under non-ideal conditions
What I do
- Support definition of analog and power architectures
- Assist with stability, transient behavior, and non-ideal effects
- Use simulation (SPICE) as a tool for understanding dynamic behavior
- Provide guidance for practical prototyping and iteration
Deliverables
- Architecture guidance and technical support
- Simulation insights and design rationale
- Prototyping-oriented recommendations
Scope note. This service is intended for early-stage design and prototyping support, where understanding system behavior and validating assumptions are more important than production optimization.
Cost: 40-60€ / hour, or fixed-scope packages on request.
This service is intended for systems where first-order models are insufficient and physical effects dominate behavior.
3 - Non-Conventional Energy Transfer & Field-Based Systems
When this is useful
- Wireless or resonant energy transfer systems
- Magnetic or electrostatic coupling beyond point-to-point solutions
- Systems where geometry and field behavior are core design elements
What I do
- Conceptual and physical modeling of field-based systems
- Support early prototypes and feasibility evaluation
- Identify robustness limits and coupling constraints
Scope note. This service is limited to conceptual design and prototyping support. It does not replace certified industrial, safety, or regulatory engineering work.
Cost: on request.
I am currently fully committed to Zeno Dynamics S.r.l. and not taking external work. Inquiries for future collaboration, technical exchange, or NDA-protected discussions are welcome. Please include in the first message: a brief description of the topic, the current stage of any related project, and the kind of exchange you are seeking.
Approach
Methodology
I work bottom-up, starting from the physical behavior of a system rather than from reference designs or datasheet abstractions. Energy flow, field interactions, parasitic effects, and failure modes are treated as primary inputs to design decisions. Topologies are selected because they fit the physical constraints of the problem, not because they are conventional.
Simulation is used as a tool for understanding dynamic behavior and constraining the design space. It is not a substitute for measurement. Where I publish simulation results, I declare them as such; where I publish measurements, I declare the test conditions and the limits of validity. The distinction is maintained explicitly in every project page.
Architectural intent and implementation maturity are tracked separately. A concept validated in simulation is not the same as a concept validated in hardware. A hardware prototype is not the same as a production design. Each project records what has been built, what has been measured, and what remains open. This separation is not a hedge — it is the only way to keep the engineering useful as the work progresses.
When physical reality contradicts the model, the model is wrong. I revise topologies, re-derive equations, or abandon approaches when bench behavior diverges from expectation. This is treated as routine engineering, not as failure.
Domain Map
A direct statement of where I currently operate, where I have practical familiarity, and where I do not yet work. This map is maintained honestly so that capability and scope are aligned in any technical conversation.
Primary domains
Analog circuit design. Power electronics under 1 kW. Resonant and field-coupled systems, with specific concentration in inductive wireless power transfer. LTspice modeling and dynamic-behavior analysis. Classical analog feedback and control. Applied electromagnetism. Bench instrumentation, measurement, and failure analysis. High-voltage AC experimentation in the 10 kV range.
Practical familiarity
Schematic capture and PCB layout in KiCad. Parametric mechanical modeling in FreeCAD. STM32 embedded development. Standard digital electronics. Programming fundamentals in C.
Foundational training
Twenty-one university examinations completed at UNIMORE (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) across two STEM faculties, covering advanced calculus and mathematical methods for physics, two physics courses with associated laboratory work, applied electromagnetism, electrical engineering with laboratory, classical control theory (final mark 30/30), electronics and data acquisition, computer architecture, and computer science fundamentals. Italian technical high school diploma in electronics, ITIS Enrico Fermi, Modena, EQF level 4.
Currently developing
Formal magnetics modeling for switching converters and resonant transformers. Power-electronics canonical vocabulary including continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, switching-loss decomposition, and magnetic-core selection for high-frequency operation. Embedded firmware patterns for STM32-based power and signal-conditioning applications.
Outside current scope
RF and microwave design. Mixed-signal integrated circuit design. High-volume DFM and DFA. CE and EMC certification testing as a primary practice. Machine learning and digital signal processing as primary domains. These are not present in my current portfolio and I do not claim them.
About
I design hardware for analog, power, and field-coupled systems, working from physical behavior upward. My work addresses the class of problems where standard reference designs fail under real coupling, transient, or stability conditions, and where digital control alone is not sufficient.
I am Founding Hardware Lead at Zeno Dynamics S.r.l., responsible for the architecture, electromechanical design, and electronic implementation of the company's mechatronics platform. I am a named co-inventor on the company's first patent application (Italian filing No. 102026000010957, 20 April 2026), covering the mechanism developed during this work.
In parallel, I maintain an independent R&D track in analog power systems and wireless power transfer. Selected work is documented in the portfolio with measured behavior, declared limitations, and open problems. I publish what I can defend. I do not claim what I have not built.
I take problems where physical behavior dominates over algorithmic regulation, and where architectural decisions weigh more than feature inventories. I work alone or in small technical teams. I do not pursue work outside this scope.
