About me

I am a Scientist at the CMCC Foundation - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change in Milan, Italy. My research aims to facilitate large-scale integration of renewable energy generation in future net-zero emissions energy systems, identify geophysical constraints and unintended consequences if deployed at scale, and enable a climate-resilient energy transition.

Over the past nine years, I have been conducting research in energy systems, wind energy, computational fluid dynamics and optimization algorithms with the goal of advancing the knowledge of wind turbine aerodynamics, creating new design frameworks for the wind turbine industry, understanding the physics of large-scale wind power extraction, and resolving system integration challenges for large-scale expansion of low-carbon technologies in decarbonized electricity systems.

I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Padua and a PhD in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto.
