PhD student at the impianti pilota laboratory under the supervision of the professor Carlo Pirola.
He got a Master degree with full marks in Industial Cemistry with a Thesis called: “Analysis of possible improvements in methane based processes: LNG plants and NG distribution pipelines”.

The main research topic is on the CO₂ catalytical hydrogenation for the formation of hydrocarbons, the utilization of dynamic simulation softwares and studies of danger and operativity of laboratory plants.

Supervised projects:

• Simulation of the process of a Fischer-Tropsch plant: characterization of the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
• Study of methyl-esters: experimental and theoretical determination of the vapour pressure and the separation of different FAMEs (fatty acid methyl esters) fractions.
