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.
