Chemical Engineer, established in Milan, Italy. Since 2024, Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano, at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "G. Natta" (CRECK Modeling group), after completing a 3-year tenure track as Assistant Professor of Chemical Plants from January 2021 to January 2024. I have performed my studies (BSc, MSc, PhD) at Politecnico di Milano, and have also been a Visiting Researcher at Stanford University (2015) and Technische Universität Darmstadt (2019).My research activity deals with the chemical-kinetic analysis of reacting systems of renewable fuels at different levels, i.e. development and reduction of chemical kinetic mechanisms, and their application in CFD computations. The expertise I gained ranges from the pyrolysis and oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels and fuel surrogates, to the formation mechanisms of pollutant species (NOx, SOx), both at a fundamental level and at higher scales (turbulent combustion devices, e.g. furnaces and engines). Within the current energy transition scenario, my research has recently expanded to the exploitation of carbon-free energy carriers (ammonia) for the on-demand energy release via either direct combustion or along with conventional fuels.
