Thesis

Thesis Title: Experimental study of  an heated aluminium airfoil in wind tunnel with thermographic techniques (available for review).

Thesis Work: laboratory based wind tunnel research, test, and evaluation on an heated aluminium airfoil that proved the efficiency of heat exchange through the application and phasing of Radiance IR-camera with Inverse Heat Transfer Problem solving.

Using infrared-camera for non contact temperature measurement I took confidence even with low light  imaging, night vision, heat loss and Non Destructive Tests in general.

Feb.-12-2006 → Mar.-27-2006 : I attended intensive CATIA V5 training course as design engineer in Airbus Technology Park, Hamburg, Germany.

Mar.-28-2006 : I attended and passed successfully Airbus validation as design engineer, with the score  of  123 / 130, in Airbus Technology Park, Hamburg.

Mar.-03-2006 → Mar-10-2006 : I attended and passed successfully Airbus PRIMES course,  (elective course),  in Europa Center, Bremen.

Mar-04-2006 → unlimited period : I  started working as designer for Airbus® Deutschland (GECI area) on new A400M project, tactical military aircraft developed for “Rapid Reaction Force Deployment”. I immediately was designed as PRIMES manager, point of reference for the group, keeping contacts among engineers and Airbus executives.

Jul-12-2006 → Consultancy analysis in Airbus “Final Assembly Line” .

Jul-22-2006 → Fastners technology course, Airbus academy, Europa center, Bremen, Germany.
