RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Research activity on thermal energy conversion and storage systems for residential (air conditioning, air treatment, medium and long term storage) and mobile applications (waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines). The activity is carried out in a TRL range from 4 to 7 and combines experimental characterization of components and prototypes and numerical activities, mainly through the use of Comsol, Dymola, Python software. Scientific manager for ITAE of various European projects.
