Research activity Context and motivation of the
research
During the years, the heat transfer researches
lead to consequential impacts into various Sophisticated modeling and experimental investigation
topics: Renewable energy solutions for a low tools were used, in all the different aspects of heat
carbon society; Super-reflective materials exchange: from the optimization of cooling micro-
mitigating the overheating of large urban areas; channels of electric motors, the control of biomass
Electric propulsion and hydrogen propulsion energy conversion, the overall analysis of the thermal
for more sustainable mobility; Fire protection behavior of electromechanical systems, up to the
engineering applied to the industrial and buildings-environment thermal interaction.
