Certificate of Participation in the “International School of Space science”, organized by the CIFS – Consorzio Interuniversitario per la Fisica Spaziale (Inter-University Consortium for Space Physics) in L’Aquila, with lessons in: Solar Physics, Celestial Bodies, Astrodynamics, Space Weather, Near Earth Objects, Space Debris.

- September 2010

Certificate for inspection and performing of conventional and surface-mount solder assembly operations in conformance with ECSS-Q-ST-70-08 and ECSS-Q-ST-70-38, at the European Space Agency Training  Centre, ASTA Technology, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth (UK).

·      Mechanical design of parts and sections of space instruments, also  performing deep analysis of thermal and mechanical solicitation response by usage of appropriate software, in particular of micrometric details.

·      Routing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) by using the electronic designing tool ORCAD 16.0.

·      Assembly and soldering following the ESA ECSS standards of the typical high-density electronic PCBs for satellite instrumentation.

·      The research activity carried out in support of my MSc degree thesis has allowed me to acquire a sound scientific knowledge and methodology in the framework of atmospheric models as related to Solar and geomagnetic models. Moreover, I carried out an in-depth analysis of the problem of satellite orbital decay as a function of the orbital and environmental parameters, also in relation to the well-known “space debris” topic.

Numerical simulations were implemented within the research by writing Fortran codes to evaluate the orbital parameters and the atmospheric density as a function of altitude, coordinates, time and geomagnetic activity, by using the different models available in literature.

·      C, Fortran (F77, F95) and Matlab for simulation of engineering problems.

·      Mechanical design by Solidworks 3D CAD  (Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp.).

·      Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by COMSOL Multiphysics. Thermal Analysis by ESA MINITAN.

·      Routing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) by using the electronic designing tool ORCAD 16.0.

·      Good knowledge of Microsoft Office package.

·         Italian: Mother tongue.

·         English: good command of English both in writing and in speech.

·         ESA certificate  for ECSS-Q-ST-70-08  and ECSS-Q-ST-70-38 (High-Reliability Hand Soldering, Inspector Training, High-Reliability Soldering for Surface Mount and MixedTechnology)

·         Certificate of Participation in COMSOL Multiphysics V4.2 Training Courses: Basic, Advanced, Structural Mechanics, Thermo-fluid Dynamics.

·         Preliminary English Test (Council of Europe Level B1), Pass with Merit (2009).

·         PEGASUS (The European Network Of Excellence in Aerospace Engineering Education).
