I am Full Professor in Thermodynamics, Heat transfer and Applied CFD at the Department of Energy in Politecnico di Milano. My current areas of interest is related to heat transfer and multiphase flows modeling, power plant flue gas cleaning and oil and gas processes. I am author of more than 200 scientific papers published on international journal or presented in national and international conferences. I started setting up in 2001 a research group on CFD which is currently focused on the development and implementation of turbulence and multi-phase models applied to the design of complex and innovative power plant devices. In period 2013-2019 I became Head of Department of Energy, in Politecnico di Milano, a research infrastructure that joins together different skills existing at Politecnico di Milano in various fields of engineering to provide, through interdisciplinary approach, convenient solutions to the complex problems that currently affect the energy sector.
