Curriculum vitae

Place and Date of Birth: S.Giovanni Rotondo (FG), Italy, 17/10/1973

Education
2000: Laurea Degree in Aerospace Engineering, University of Pisa, Italy
1992: High school degree, Liceo Scientifico Statale “G.De Rogatis”, S.Nicandro G. (FG), Italy

Experience:
2002-present: Ph.D. Student, Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Pisa, Italy
2002-present: Assistant professor for “Technology of Aeronautic Constructions” course at University of Pisa
2000-present: Project Engineer, Centrospazio - Consorzio Pisa Ricerche, Pisa, Italy

Main projects:
2002-2003 “Studio di fenomeni di cavitazione in circuiti di alimentazione di razzi a propellente liquido”, ASI contract no. I/C/015/02/0
2002 “Test Sperimentali su Airfoil”, collaboration with CIRA for FAST2 program, contract no. 99.0146.0000/0
2001 “Impianto per prove rotodinamiche di turbopompe cavitanti”, ASI contract no. I/C/144/00/0

Main Working Activities:
• Design, dimensioning, choice of components, development, realization and validation of CPTF (Cavitating Pump Test Facility), CPRTF (Cavitating Pump Rotordynamic Test Facility) and TCT (Thermal Cavitation tunnel)
• Experimental activity on cavitating/noncavitating turbopumps and hydrofoils. Long-time experience in the use of: pressure transducers (static/resistive and dynamic/piezoelectric transducers); electromagnetic flowmeters; slip rings assemblies.
• Collaboration in the design of a rotating dynamometer for the CPRTF and “know-how” experience in the measurement of forces and moments by strain-gauges
• Analog/digital signal acquisition, conditioning, filtering and postprocessing
• Writing of technical papers and intermediate/final reports for ASI and CIRA contracts
• 2D and 3D technical drawing for design purposes
