2019 - 2020M.sc. thesis in aerodynamics aeronautical & mechanical engineeringMy activity at TUM focused on the development of an experimental Master Thesis on Wheel Aerodynamics. 25% of the aerodynamic drag of a passenger car is due to wheels and underbody. Optimizing wheel design for aerodynamics would lead to more efficient vehicles, regardless of the power source used. This justifies an intense parametric analysis on wheel design to relate geometrical features to aerodynamic performance. Goal: observing how longitudinal and lateral grooves behave and affect the flow… Show more My activity at TUM focused on the development of an experimental Master Thesis on Wheel Aerodynamics. 25% of the aerodynamic drag of a passenger car is due to wheels and underbody. Optimizing wheel design for aerodynamics would lead to more efficient vehicles, regardless of the power source used. This justifies an intense parametric analysis on wheel design to relate geometrical features to aerodynamic performance. Goal: observing how longitudinal and lateral grooves behave and affect the flow field around the wheel. Promising results have been found with an extensive simulation activity and then validated with wind tunnel tests.At last, a software has been developed to pave the way for automatic aerodynamic design optimization for treads. It relies on an innovative nomenclature proposed in the work, coupled with the ETRTO standard for wheel size nomenclature.During my stay at TUM, I had the opportunity to start learning German. I've attended courses up to A2 level. Show less
Experience

Jan 2016 - Jul 2017Transmission designerFormula SAE
Politecnico di bari
Feb 2017 - May 2017The internship activity was focused on the whole CFD working path: meshing, pre-processing, solver settings and post-processing. I’ve dealt with industrial relevant problems, like a flow simulation across VKI blades. A report to present the simulation setup and results was prepared for each analyzed case.Acquired skills:-- Methodical and rigorous work approach-- Organise the work and to split complex problems into small packagesFrom this activity the passion for CFD simulations has grown to such an extent that now is my major interest. Show less I joined the University library staff in a paid work (part-time) for some months. My task was to help other students in finding books on shelves and I mainly did a Front Desk activity. This activity has been of paramount importance to me because I’ve acquired and enhanced my skills in communication, also with people with different backgrounds. I often successfully figured out their needs, fulfilling their requests. I’ve learnt a work ethic, inspired by diligent and dynamic people. Show less
