ABOUT
I have a Master degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Univeristy of Naples and also PhD in Structural Dynamics from the Institue of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR). My academic career continued at the University of Bristol were I was a post-doc working in nonlinear dyanamics on the EU Morphing Aircraft project and then with Prof. DJ Ewins at the AugustaWestland (Leonardo Helicopter) UTC. I become also a lecturer in Structural Dynamic at the Dept of Aerospace
In 2011 I joined LMS (now Siemens) in Leuven (Belgium) as Product Manager for Dynamic Environmental Test solutions. Since then I become a referent point for the Space Industry in Siemens bringing new ideas to products and products to market. Eventually becoming world-wide responsible of the Aerospace&Defense Business development as technical leader.
During my career I have contributed to the AeroSpace and Defense (ASD) Testing community in a number of ways. Especially to the Space Testing community where was a member of both Aerospace Testing Seminar (ATS) and Europeac Conference on Spacecraft Structure Material and Environmental Testing (ECSSMET) technical committees. My biggest contribution to the community was in the field of Direct Field Acoustic Testing. Charing the panels of world experts and kicking-off the works for a new ESA Handbook has helped a lot of companies (especially in Europe) which are now qualifying their satellite using DFAN/DFAT technique.
In March 2020, I joined Patria Belgium Engine Center to manage the sale&marketing activities (for MRO of F100-PW military engine) in the United States which include discovering and conducting business opportunities and operations with USAF/USG and managing matters related to US-based supplier/customers/partners.
In June 2021 i started my company, ACEng, so that i could share my knowledge and help companies and labs to get their projects off the ground, or the lab equpped with the most valuable material, or their tests finished in the most efficient way.
