Holder of a research grant entitled “Extended Reality in Aeronautical Applications” at the University of Bologna in the field of Aerospace Engineering.
His research interests have focused on the preliminary design of commercial aircraft, with a particular focus on acoustic comfort and thus on reducing the noise perceived by the passenger. Currently, his research focuses on numerical finite element methods (FEM) to accurately predict the vibro-acoustic response of complex structures, such as the fuselage of an aircraft, composed of non-conventional materials (composites, metamaterials, sandwich plates). Another area of research is the use of virtual reality for the assessment of acoustic comfort using auralization techniques.
Education
He holds a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Bologna and a master's degree from the Polytechnic of Turin. He is currently delivering his PhD thesis in Mechanics and Advanced Engineering Sciences (DIMSAI) at the University of Bologna.
Academic career
During his PhD in 2021/22, he was a Guest Scientist for six months at the German aerospace research centre (DLR) in Hamburg
He is currently a research fellow at the University of Bologna.
Teaching activities
In the academic year 2022/23 he is academic tutor for the course of Disegno Tecnico Industriale in the bachelor’s degree of Ingegneria Meccanica.
Awards and acknowledgements
In 2019 he won the award "Premio Franco Persiani" for the best master's thesis in the field of innovation in the aeronautical sector.
Other activities
Reviewer for several scientific journals.
