Associate Professors

He graduated cum laude in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 from the University of Calabria. In 2003 he joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (UK) for twelve months as a Marie Curie Host Fellow, under the framework of the European Doctorate in Sound and Vibration Studies. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in February 2005 at the University of Calabria, where he has been Assistant Professor from November 2005. He has been involved in research and/ or teaching activities as a Visiting Academic at the University of Southampton (UK) and at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Brazil).
