Biography

He was born in Salerno on 1975. Degree cum laude in Mechanical Engineering on 1999 at University of Salerno with degree thesis on Design Methods developed in FIAT Research Center; he won a thesis grant given by ATA (Technical Automotive Association). From 1999 to 2001 he work with Design Methods research group of University of Salerno. In 2000 he won a research grant for "optimization in mechanical design using non-standard logics" research topic. From 2001 to 2002 he works at FIAT research center, employed in Product development Methodologies group. Between 2001 and 2004 he developed his research activities in Italy and abroad on: Vehicle Experimental analysis: Delft (Olanda) - TNO Research Center – Feb. 2002 e Feb. 2004; Detroit (U.S.A.) - FIAT R/D- Mar.2002; Ispra (Italia) -JRC- Joint Research Center – Sept. 2002.
