Who I am
I am a Mechanical Engineer specialized in Energy and Environment. Throughout my studies, I have been particularly interested in heat transfer and its potential applications in research. During my internship, I became passionate about the research environment and gradually developed interests in related topics such as vacuum systems, mechanical design, and numerical simulations.
My current research activity focuses on the design and development of systems that exploit high vacuum thermal insulation, with the aim of improving their efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
