WORK HISTORY
Senior Development Engineer @Cosworth
Northampton, GB
Design and development of piston engines with a main focus on the combustion system- Analysis and optimisation of air path (naturally-aspirated, super- or turbocharged), induction-induced flow motion, spray pattern and combustion chamber design- System simulation (GT-Power) and 3D CFD modelling (ConvergeCFD) of engine behaviour in a predesign stage or in correlation with test bench results- Accounting for fuel properties on combustion process (emulation of series, racing and special-purpose fuels with surrogates, reduction of kinetics mechanisms for key compounds)- CAD design (Siemens NX) of flow control parts and assembly- Analysis and design of engine lubrication circuit- 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines- Series, race and special-purpose engines
