RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Currently, as a research fellow at CNR, I am involved in a research project focusing on the utilization of adsorptive processes applied to desalination and refrigeration systems. In previous work, I engaged in thermodynamic modeling and numerical simulation of hybrid desalination systems using low-grade thermal energy-activated adsorption and renewable energies. Optimization through multi-objective nonlinear programming applied to energy efficiency in compressed air systems is also among the researched topics, and the results have been published in various scientific journals.
