After a 1.5 year experience at McKinsey and Co. as a business analyst consultant, I have obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (Italy, 2013) with a thesis on “Tools for the automated condition monitoring of rotating machines”. During my PhD and in a brief post-doctoral activity at Politecnico di Milano I have worked on a series of industrial projects related to the health monitoring and system identification for a wide range of mechanical systems, including bridges, large rotating machines, road and rail vehicles and industrial coolers.

My research activity has continued at QUT since December 2013 until the end of 2017, with a focus on asset health optimisation in power generation and process industries.

At UNSW I continue working in asset health monitoring and management, including vibration sensing, signal processing, machine learning, and maintenance optimisation. I currently collaborate with Australian and international companies in the fields of aerospace and rail.

I am an Editorial Board Member for Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (MSSP) and a Member of the International Society for Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM).
