Within this role I contribute to the identification of development items, the estimation of their performance potential, the plan definition from design phase up to potential race introduction, the coordination and follow up of the required simulation activities and the measurement campaign, results analysis and models validation. Simulation Engineer: Responsibility for the 3D-CFD simulations of combustion systems and thermal management of various components of the powerunits. Through my simulations results I contribute to the development of WRC and WEC powertrains, on one hand by providing valuable and detailed performance analysis of the various development items thus increasing the chances of success, and on the other hand by reducing development costs and time. My work has contributed to the achievement of multiple World Rally Championships, World Endurance Championships titles and 24h of Le Mans victories. Project Manager: Management of R&D projects focused on different topics of powertrain and simulation methodology development. Within the projects that I have managed so far we developed state of the art simulation methods and models for our customers, delivering top quality results and always complying with budgets and deadlines. Race & Performance Engineer: Race strategist and responsibility for car setup definition within TGR-E United, a team which competes in the NLS German Championship with Supra GT4. In 2022 we have been the first team in the world to ever complete a 24h race with CO2-neutral fully-synthetic fuel, a result which has proven the validity of so called e-fuels as one of the alternatives to reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector, and contributed to raise awareness of the importance of climate protection in the motorsport community.

  • May 2015 - Apr 2016

  Modena, Italia Combustion CFD-3D simulations on F1 Power-Unit in order to improve the methodology for better correlation with experiments within trainee program. This activity has allowed me to develop understanding and know how about modern F1 Powerunits, more specifically in the field of their combustion system development and the challenges related to its accurate modelling.
