CV

PROFESSION Period: 2012 – actually ◦ Employer: University of Padova, Padova, Italy Project from June 2012 until July 2013: Development of high efficiency plasma sources for space and industrial applications. ◦ Position: Research Fellow ◦ Main responsibilities: Responsible for experimental hardware procurement, installation and testing. Logistics manegement and contractors coordination.   EDUCATION Ph.D. School CISAS “G. Colombo” – University of Padova, Ph.D. School in Science Technology and Measures for Space, curriculum: Mechanical Measures for Engineering and Space. "Performance characterization of propulsion systems for spacecraft applications" Studies and applications in hybrid propulsion systems, especially focused on performance characterization/measurement and combustion/injection instabilities mitigation. Experimental tests conducted with motors up to 50 kNs of total impulse. Additional skills: • Experience also with solid rocket motor tests • General thrusters diagnostics: thrust, temperature, pressure and liquid/gas mass flow rates measurements • Data analysis and reduction • Reports production • Flight mission requirements and safety issues in breadboarding activities • Responsible for test/flight campaign logistics, hardware management and procurement. • Participation in flight campaigns with testing purpose.   Relevant Ph.D Courses: • X Ray & IR Detectors • Optics & Interferometry Elements • Space Ambient Physics • Electrical Measurements (with lab.) • Composite Materials Mechanics   POST-GRADUATE COURSES Short Course on Space Propulsion Prof. P. Erichsen (Swedish Space Corporation) Politecnico di Milano – 16th May 2008   RELEVANT SEMINARS • ESA "Exomars" Mission (Dr. Eng. P. Baglioni, ESA) • Launch Vehicle System Loop (Ing. P.
