Experience

• 

  Delft University of Technology

  Jul 2016 - Jan 2018

  In the frame of a collaboration between the university and some industrial partners it was evaluated the possibility to use wasted heat to allow the expansion of an organic fluid in a mini-turbine delivering 10kW of electric power. Design and optimization of radial supersonic turbine- Geometry design from 0D correlation - CFD analysis and optimization - Stress analysis evaluation and material selection- CAD drawings for machine mockup and contact with manufactures for metallic 3D printing Dissimilation of the results- Presentation of the achieved design at the ORC2017 conference- Report writing and presentation for the company sponsoring the project Show less

  Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics

  Feb 2018 - Mar 2020

  Research And Development Engineer

  I lead the numerical activities in the frame of a 3 years contract between VKI and Safran Aircraft Engine. The objective of the project was to define new design guidelines for axial turbine high pressure stage via CFD optimization and experimentally validate the numerical resultsDevelopment of the needed tool - Coding a geometrical CAD tool able to integrate real engine geometries with innovative geometrical shape definition- CFD analysis of the machine performance at different regime - Construct a fully automatic optimization chain from CAD design to efficiency computation of new geometry with high fidelity numerical computation Communication of the results - Weekly report to industrial partner to track project evolution - Conference publication at the ASME turbo expo Show less
