Università del Salento
-Bachelor's degree Mechanical EngineeringActivities and Societies: Salento Racing Team Thesis: "Analysis and Numerical Optimization of Four-Stroke Engine 4 Cylinders for Formula SAE Competition".Advisors: Prof. Ing. D. Laforgia, Ing. P. CarlucciAbstract: The purpose of the thesis was to estimate a 4-stroke engine fuel consumption by data acquired via telemetry on board of a Formula SAE vehicle. An algorithm written in the Matlab language allowed to simulate the fuel consumption of the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The injection time (µs), cycle by cycle, was obtained… Show more Thesis: "Analysis and Numerical Optimization of Four-Stroke Engine 4 Cylinders for Formula SAE Competition".Advisors: Prof. Ing. D. Laforgia, Ing. P. CarlucciAbstract: The purpose of the thesis was to estimate a 4-stroke engine fuel consumption by data acquired via telemetry on board of a Formula SAE vehicle. An algorithm written in the Matlab language allowed to simulate the fuel consumption of the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The injection time (µs), cycle by cycle, was obtained by interpolating data from the sample of engine revolutions per minute and the throttle opening angle. It has been also implemented a consumption reduction strategy based on ARDUINO UNO. Single-board microcontroller detected when the driver releases the accelerator pedal and cuts the injection bypassing the ECU. Show less

-Master's degree Mechanical EngineeringActivities and Societies: Internship at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca Thesis: "A Neural Network for Real Time Forecast of Diesel Engine Emissions".Advisors: Ing. T. DonateoAbstract: A Neural Network model based on the interpolation of the time-histories of driving conditions (speed, altitude, ambient temperature, humidity and pressure) and emissions measured on a diesel start-and-stop vehicle while performing a series of RDE tests. Two different approaches are proposed. The first one calculates the emissions on the basis of the vehicle motion… Show more Thesis: "A Neural Network for Real Time Forecast of Diesel Engine Emissions".Advisors: Ing. T. DonateoAbstract: A Neural Network model based on the interpolation of the time-histories of driving conditions (speed, altitude, ambient temperature, humidity and pressure) and emissions measured on a diesel start-and-stop vehicle while performing a series of RDE tests. Two different approaches are proposed. The first one calculates the emissions on the basis of the vehicle motion (speed and altitude profile, ambient conditions). The second one models the engine block using as input the ambient conditions, the load and the rpm of the engine derived from the OBD-II scanner. The output of both models are the flow rates and cumulated values of CO2 and NOx. Show less
Experience

Salento Racing Team

GREEN SRL
Jan 2014 - Jan 2015CAD DesignerModelled parametric CAD of a wind turbine ruled by SolidWorks Equation Tool to manage surfaces easily and in a most robust way. In addiction to that if system dimensions change there is no need to rebuild a new CAD saving a lot of time. Developed Matlab algorithm to calculate surfaces (from SolidWorks coordinates) and to optimize blade geometry in order to achieve specific target.

Technical University of Cluj-Napoca
Mar 2018 - Jul 2018Internship – Electric Powertrain SimulationDeveloped a model of the electric bus ”Solaris Urbino 12” on AVL Cruise environment. The main goal has been to evaluate the electrical vehicle with the task to establish a methodology related to the thermal management of the battery pack using also Matlab/Simulink.
