Davide Moro graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of Bologna (1988). He was researcher, associate and full professor (2001) at UNIBO. From November 2018, he is President of the School of Engineering. The research activity has been developed in the field of internal combustion engines on the themes of experimentation, modeling, control and diagnosis and in the last decade, the activity has been enlarged also to hybrid powertrain systems. The aims were to test diagnostic procedure and innovative combustion control strategies based on direct and indirect methodologies (some of which are based on the acoustic emission analysis) that can be applied also in different kinds of fluid machines.
