The OpenRQ library is the first open implementation of the RaptorQ FEC scheme, described in IETF's RFC 6330. It is distributed under Apache License 2.0, and offers an easy to use API for any developer to use the RaptorQ code in his applications.

I developed this library as part of the work I've done during my Masters' thesis, on which I analyzed the resillience of the RaptorQ FEC code when facin malicious faults. I successfully broke the standard's design and I've proposed some solutions to make it more robust.

XMakemol is a mouse-based software for viewing atomic and other chemical systems. It reads XYZ input files and renders atoms bonds and hydrogen bonds. XMakemol2 was created from the original XMakemol software to fill in the need to manipulate/operate a XYZ file. Namely by adding/removing atoms and applying geometric transformations to atoms or molecules.

I developed XMakemol2 in the context of an academic research project for the Physics department of University of Minho. It was my sophomore year and I was still learning to code in C, so this project was very challenging to me. However, personally, the result was very rewarding.
