Introduction
I am specialized in seakeeping performance studies through model tests and simulations. I prepare supervise and analyse complex research campaigns to assess and improve the operability of naval platforms. I developed experimental and analytical methods to correctly and efficiently assess the performance of anti roll tanks. I am also active in the field of launch and recovery of craft.

Paper
On the design of anti-roll tanks
4 Sep 2016
Traditionally, the procedure to design anti-roll tanks is limited to the assessment of the reaction moment due to a regular roll motion. Although ...
Paper
Fast time domain evaluation of Anti-Roll Tank and ship coupling using non-linear retardation functions
13 Jun 2016
Anti-Roll Tanks (ART) have been used for more than a century to damp the roll motion of ships. These devices exist in various configurations, ...
Paper
A study of the response to sway motions of free surface anti-roll tanks
7 Nov 2015
Free surface anti-roll tanks are commonly used to reduce the rolling of ships. These devices have been studied quite extensively in the past, both ...
Paper
Model tests and time domain simulations for launch and recovery
19 Nov 2014
Launch and recovery model tests have been in constant evolution for more than a decade thanks to a continuous improvement of model manufacture and ...
Paper
Analysis of U-Type Anti-Roll Tanks using URANS. Sensitivity and Validation
8 Jun 2014
The roll motion of ships operating in a seaway is often limiting operations. These limits could be due to, e.g. maximum acceleration, green water, ...

Validation of Time Domain Seakeeping Codes for a Destroyer Hull Form Operating in Steep Stern-quartering Seas
22 Oct 2010
The paper describes the validation of two time domain methods to simulate the behaviour of a destroyer operating in steep, stern-quartering seas. ...
Paper
Calculation method to include water on deck effects
21 Jun 2010
Green water is an important issue regarding ships stability as it may dramatically change the loading of the ship compared to its dry deck ...
