Graduated in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Genoa (IT)
in 2004, with a dissertation about preliminary design of a 24 [m] sailing yacht that
included the development of an innovative methodology for the structural scantling.
He worked as chief naval engineer at the Naval Branch of CFD Engineering S.r.l. based
in Genova (IT), main subcontractor for heavy-duty turbo gas fluid dynamic analyses of
the Research & Development Department of Ansaldo Energia.
During this time he performed CFD simulations of sailing, displacing and semi-planing
yachts, ships and marine structures. Appendages positioning and tuning, vessel
resistance to forward motion, optimizations of keels and appendages, turbulence,
boundary layers at kinky locations of the hull geometry, wake field for propeller design
are some examples of the analysis he performed.
