I'm the director of the Intelligent Computational Engineering Laboratory (ICE-Lab) and I have 15+ years of experience in the field of model based analysis and design optimisation of complex mechanical systems/devices.

I'm also founder member and former general manager of OPTIMAD Engineering S.r.l. – Italian SME, Spin-off of the Politecnico di Torino, active in the field of aerodynamic analysis, design, and optimization.

Currently involved in projects regarding:

• global optimisation of trans-atmospheric and interplanetary trajectories;
• multidisciplinary design optimisation under uncertainties of space transportation systems and wind turbines;
• (re-)entry modelling and simulation of space objects (debris and asteroids) and design for demise; and
• machine learning techniques for data analytics and meta-modelling.

• Multi-Objective Optimisation
• Nature Inspired Optimisation Algorithms
• Uncertainty Treatment
• Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation Under Uncertainties
• MDOuU of Aerospace Transportation Systems and Renewable Energy Systems
• Trajectory and Shape Optimisation
• (Re-)Entry of Space Objects
• Meta-modelling Techniques
• Computational Intelligence
• Machine Learning
• Multi-Fidelity Optimisation Approaches
• Engineering Design
