Curriculum vitae

Publications

More than 130 publications (International Journals, International Conferences, National Conferences, National Journals), of which beyond 70 in International Journals.

Most relevant international publications have been realized in the scientific field of manufacturing processes related to laser material processing and particularly cutting and welding. Laser cutting process has been investigated experimentally and by means of modeling, simulation and optimization. The "Prediction of molten pool geometry in laser cutting" was quoted several times. Laser hybrid welding (a Laser source was used together a traditional Gas Metal Arc torch) has been studied mainly experimentally and optimized by means of statistical methods. Relative position of the two energy sources and the effect of assistant gas mixes have been investigated.

PRIN TILAS research activity was documented in the Proceedings of the most important international conferences about metal foams (Metfoam 2007, Montreal, Canada and Metfoam 2009, Bratislava, Slovakia)

Research Activities

Research topics are based on sustainability and sustainable manufacturing, experimental activity, modelling, simulation and optimization of manufacturing laser processes (laser material processes, mainly cutting, welding and hybrid welding and foundry processes).

Research topics are based on experimental activity, modelling, simulation and optimisation of laser material processes (mainly cutting, welding and hybrid welding) and foundry processes.

Teaching activities

Two courses since 2006 for a total of 12 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) for every Academic Year. Both courses are addressed to students attending the last years of their Degree Programme (Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Management) and related to process and material selection with particular attention to traditional metals and alloys and further innovative or advanced materials.

Module "Materials and processes" at the Italian Design Summer School (IDSS), University of Bologna, for international students.
