Master degree in Yacht DesignMaritime Energy Transition & Decarbonization
Expertise in maritime transport decarbonization, including the assessment of innovative low-carbon solutions and their industrial-scale deployment, with contributions to European maritime decarbonization projects such as WHISPER.
Wind-Assisted Propulsion Technologies
Assessment of innovative wind-assisted propulsion technologies across different ship types and maritime routes, including aerodynamic performance analysis of rigid sails and interactions effects, as well as development of PPP programs including high fidelity digital twins.
Naval Architecture & Hydrodynamics
Development of seakeeping tools for wind-propelled ships, hydrodynamic modeling of multihull vessels, stability studies for passenger and cargo vessels above 500 GT, and production of stability booklets.
Techno-Economic Analysis
Delivery of techno-economic reports covering OPEX, CAPEX, and ROI, as well as analysis of energy, operational and economic performance scenarios to support decision-making.
Ship Design & General Arrangement
Contributions to general arrangement plans and overall ship architecture for passenger and cargo vessels, including preliminary design of sailing yachts covering ISO structure, propulsion, and sail plan.
Research & Scientific Publication
Lead author of several international peer-reviewed scientific publications resulting from European maritime decarbonization projects, including a quantitative study on the impact of Flettner rotors on seakeeping.
Project Management & Stakeholder Coordination
Work Package Leader in European research projects, leading technical meetings and reviews with industry partners including shipowners, R&D centres, and design offices, while acting as interface between technology suppliers and classification societies.
Fleet Emissions & Energy Strategy
Contribution to group energy transition projects and fleet emissions reduction strategy, supporting major global maritime players in regulatory frameworks and operational performance.
