I am a Ph.D. researcher in Energy Engineering at ICARE (CNRS) in Orléans, France, working at the intersection of combustion science, hydrogen energy, and optical diagnostics. My doctoral research develops non-intrusive sensing techniques for hydrogen flames by combining detailed chemical-kinetics modelling with advanced experimental diagnostics.
Before my doctorate I spent several years in industry as an R&D Combustion Engineer developing low-NOx and ultra-low-NOx burners, and as a process engineer supporting ammonia, urea, and power plants. I hold an M.Sc. in Energy Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and a B.E. in Chemical Engineering.

Doctoral Research
My thesis, “Assessment of OH* as a flame marker in premixed H₂–air flames,” investigates the relationship between OH* radical chemiluminescence and heat-release rate to validate OH* as a reliable flame-front marker. By correlating experimental diagnostic data with high-fidelity modelling, I identify the chemical pathways governing OH* formation under varying conditions.

Experience
Experimental and numerical investigation of OH* chemiluminescence as a flame-front marker in premixed hydrogen–air flames, developing non-intrusive optical diagnostics for hydrogen combustion.
Developed low-NOx and ultra-low-NOx burners; planned test campaigns, ran HAZOP and risk analyses, and characterised emissions across fuels including steam-diluted and CO₂-injected conditions.
Supported ammonia, urea, power and water-treatment plants through material/energy balances, equipment sizing, bottleneck analysis, energy audits, and HAZOP studies.
