Adeel Asghar
Software developer and Project leader at Santa Anna IT Research Institute
I’m a software developer and project leader at Santa Anna IT Research Institute, with a Master’s in Computer Systems from Linköping University.
I’ve been developing and maintaining OpenModelica, the open-source modeling and simulation environment, for many years.
- Graphical clients: OMEdit, the graphical modeling and simulation editor, and other GUI-based clients for OpenModelica.
- Python interface: OMPython, which lets you script and control OpenModelica from Python.
- Compiler and debugging: contributions to the OpenModelica Compiler, and a GDB debugger plugin for MDT (Modelica Development Tool) in Eclipse.
- Co-simulation: support for the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) in OpenModelica.
Along the way I’ve co-authored papers on modeling, simulation, and debugging tools, which you can find below. I enjoy turning complex research tools into software people can actually use, and I work across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
