I am a researcher at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Itay. I achieved my PhD in 2023 with a thesis on numerical and experimental tools for the simulation of braking operations. My research activity concerns the numerical simulation of several phenomena related to railway vehicle dynamics (wear, wheel-shoe thermal behavior in tread braking operations, running safety and stability, etc.) with longitudinal train dynamics and multibody codes as well as the experimental investigation of wheel-rail adhesion phenomena with laboratory test rigs. Recent activities are dealing with the integration of longitudinal train dynamics within multibody codes by means of digital twins. I have co-authored more than 20 scientific works
