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.
In 2006 he started the Studio CFD Naval Design, focused in CFD simulations and structural design (supported by FE method). During the years, he developed a close partnership with major Italian yacht shipyards and designers, supporting them in the design of a large number of yachts between 30 and 70 metres length overall.
