Intership in the Laboratory of Aerospace Structures

• Sep 2014 - Jul 2015

Actively participated in the research project on Structural monitoring in helicopter rotor blades though the use of fibber optics encased in composite materials – Granted by a partnership between Politecnico di Milano and AugustaWestland. In the time of the internship I had learn many lamination techniques for composite materials, I developed methods and equipment’s for protection and manipulation of fibber optics, in addition to this I also conducted Pull Out and fatigue tests.
