As a post-doc researcher (RTD-A) in mechanical design and machine construction (ING-IND/14), I earned a Ph.D. in mechanical and management engineering from the Polytechnic University of Bari. In 2023, I successfully defended a thesis titled "Non-destructive thermographic methods for quality evaluation of thin joints." I spent a year at the Federal Institute of Materials (BAM) in Berlin during my doctoral period, fostering a collaborative relationship.

My research focuses on developing thermographic procedures for non-destructive testing of thin joints and the mechanical and thermophysical characterization of materials using thermal methods, including Finite Element Method (FEM) approaches.
