I currently work at Komatsu Italia Manufacturing as a design engineer. Specifically, I am part of the design and development team for electric mini-excavators. My professional development is interconnected with my academic career. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ferrara, where I also obtained my PhD cum laude in Mechanics of Machines, specialising in Digital Signal Processing applied to vibration diagnosis and condition monitoring. During my Ph.D. I also worked for 4 years as a consultant in the field of acoustics, vibrations and dynamics, collaborating with many important companies (Maserati, Technogym, VM Motori, Carraro Agritalia, etc).Thanks to my heterogeneous experience, my skills range from testing to numerical simulation. It's not easy to define my areas of expertise. Here is a short list:- vibration and acoustic analysis- bench testing- hydraulics- advanced data analysis- testing and data acquisition- static and dynamic FEM simulations- dynamic lumped parameter models- signal processing- condition monitoring and diagnosticLast but not least, I have had (and still have) the privilege of working with many different people and companies who have played a pivotal role in developing all those soft skills and attitudes that are essential for a fruitful and positive working experience.
