Belgium
Vehicle engineer with 4+ years of global experience, developed in highly qualified company belonging to automotive sector. Master’s degree in Vehicle Engineering from Università di Ingegneria “Enzo Ferrari”, Modena (Italy).
Within MBD-Powertrain Team, the project is focused on the thermal system performance evaluation based on customer big data. The final goal is to characterize BEVs customer usage & behaviour related to fast charging and set realistic thermal management system targets by analysing EU vehicle big data and driving conditions (country and temperature). Main topics: • Battery pre-heating by analysing waiting/driving time before DC charging occurs. • Battery heater sizing based on temperature variation during driving/charging phases. • Battery SoC and range analysis to evaluate charging process and temperature effect.
Projects and activities applied on high-performance sports cars and carried out in collaboration with the major automotive companies in UK and Croatia. Main topics in CFD-3D: • Intake/Exhaust lines • Predictive combustion in ICE and Formula1 pre-chambers • 3D optimization processes • Geometries manipulation Main topics in CFD-1D: • Thermal Management/Cooling system • Engine Performance and Fuel Economy • Full-Vehicle Simulations
3D-CFD simulations for Formula1 ICEs: application of combustion models to evaluate the Turbulent Flame Speed. The results were crucial to provide further information to validate combustion models in Star-CCM+. Final comparison with experimental acquisitions under different engine operating points.
