As a researcher at the Electrical Engineering Lab of Grenoble, Frederic Aitken studies discharge in insulating liquids in order to understand the defects associated with high-voltage transformers. This requires the ability to quickly analyze experimental data and compare it to theoretical models. For Aitken, Mathematica is a powerful tool capable of carrying out analytical calculations and numerical computations with minimal code. His team has even developed a calorimetric device capable of measuring dielectric losses in the power of electronic components using Mathematica. In French.
