Profilo professionale
I am an aerospace system engineer working as an advanced navigation systems specialist in the Leonardo Helicopters Division. I graduated with honors from the University of Naples Federico II, completing a thesis on attitude control techniques and researching models to interpret the effects of solar radiation pressure on space platforms.
As a system engineer, I have a strong aptitude for teamwork and problem-solving, as well as solid experience in translating customer requirements into technical specifications, complying with regulations, and setting up validation flight tests to support certification activities.
I have a good knowledge of English at B2 level and strong proficiency in DOORS, MATLAB, Simulink, GMAT, SPENVIS, and Microsoft Office.
I am very interested in innovative space technologies, space missions, navigation solutions, and unmanned aerial systems.

- Microgravity experiments activities
- Design and execution of a parabolic flight experiment to test the behavior of a flame in free fall condition: At the "La Selva" airfield in Vitulazio (CE), I collaborated with a team of 5 members on an experimental campaign.
- Phase 1: Design and construction of the experimental apparatus consisting of a remote ignition and extinguishing system for the flame, an accelerometer, and a camera.
- Phase 2: Verification of the characteristics of the aircraft (Tecnam P92) and the experimental environment through weekly reconnaissance at the airfield, with the support of the pilot involved in the experiment.
- Phase 3: Parabolic flight on board the Tecnam P92, piloted by an experienced pilot, to simulate the free fall condition.
