Aerodynamic development for Team Lotus F1 (August 2009- Present).The aerodynamic development can be divided in three parts, the first one consists in the wind tunnel sessionpreparation and it includes the definition of the priorities, allocation of design and production resources, definitionof the model surfaces in a “conceptual way”, check that the work of the draftsmen matches the targets supplied,definition of modularity for the model parts and eventually writing of the documents necessary during the windtunnel tests. The second part consists in the execution of the wind tunnel tests. The last part involves the windtunnel results analysis and the writing of the session reports.Aerodynamic development for Team Force India F1 (November 2008- August 2009). The job was similar to thatdescribed above.Aerodynamic development using simulation tools (CFD) of race car (November 2007-November 2008)Aerodynamic development for Team NASCAR Forniture Row (June 2007–October 2007). This time thedevelopment consisted in the design, starting from scratch, of the wind tunnel model and the following mappingtests. Few days have been spent testing components for Talladega race.Test and start up of the wind tunnel FT2 in Casumaro, Italy (January 2007- June 2007)Aerodynamic development for Team Renault F1 (December 2005-December 2006). The job was similar to thatdescribed above.

Mechanical designer in the “special group” of the factory that was the world leader in the business of the automatic machinery for the production and packaging of cigarettes. One of the device designed from myself has been sheltered by copyright to protect its innovation level.
