Who I am
My passion for Thermo-Fluid Dynamics began early in my studies and has been the core of my career as an R&D Engineer. I specialize in energy systems requiring extreme thermal insulation, such as the TVPSOLAR solar thermal panel.
My work involves tackling challenges from scaling Ultra-High Vacuum device production to precisely measuring energy conversion performances of prototype and full-scale devices. This commitment drives my continuous development of novel energy technologies across diverse fields of application.
