About

I have always believed that an engineer should be a person capable of solving problems. For this, he/she shall rely on analytic and synthetic approach, adaptability, and teamwork: at the same time, a researcher and a team leader. My training has been oriented coherently, starting with deep roots in mathematics, physics and following with a Master degree in general mechanics, to be versatile. Feeling, by nature, the pleasure of exchanging and working with foreign cultures, I have practiced international cooperation and negotiation in four languages, during the past 13 years, in particular, leading complex aircraft environmental control systems projects with both suppliers and customers. A common thread has linked all these experiences: the taste for innovation and top technical challenges, from a Ferrari R&D Master thesis to wind tunnel activities, from calculation and testing of Satellites to experimental flights on helicopter prototypes. After specializing in the last 3 years in the design and optimization of helicopters environmental control systems, I'm looking today for new opportunities to deploy my skills and express my enthusiasm. Languages: - Français (bilingue) - English (fluent) - Español (intermedio) - Italiano (lingua madre) Special Trainings: - 2015 Effective communication (2 days) - 2014 Mastering International Negotiations (3 days) - 2012 Transversal management (3 days) - 2009 Project Management / Communication (6 days) Skills: - Project Management - International team coordination and suppliers management. - Customer relationship and international negotiation. - Design, control, optimization and testing of environmental control systems, in particular vapour cycle helicopter systems. - General mechanics: structural design and analysis, qualification testing, materials, turbo-machinery, fluid mechanics and dynamics, heat transfer, electrotechnics and notions of electronics/computer science.
