I am a Mechanical Engineer and Research Fellow at the University of Messina. I work in the aerodynamics and fluid dynamics field, which has been my main interest since the start of my academic career. I further solidified my expertise in this field by completing a PhD course in Engineering and Chemistry of Materials and Constructions, defending a thesis titled "Novel CFD-Based Methods for the Characterization of Ventilated Planing Hulls and Analysis of Air Layer Distribution".
