About Marco

With an aerospace engineering background, I have focused my career on numerical modeling and simulation, holding a PhD and several years of experience in scientific research.

Do you need reliable simulations, robust numerical models, or a high-performance calculation tool to support your technical decisions? I help you transform complex physical problems into concrete and actionable solutions.

I can assist you with:

- Development and improvement of CFD / multiphysics models
- Thermal, mechanical, or coupled simulations
- Validation, verification, and results analysis
- Workflow automation (Python, scripts, post-processing)
- Development or improvement of scientific codes (OpenFOAM, ANSYS, internal tools)

What I bring you concretely:

- A rigorous scientific approach (PhD + research experience)
- The ability to quickly understand complex issues
- Clear deliverables: structured technical reports, physical interpretation of results, actionable recommendations
- Complete autonomy on demanding technical projects

Types of projects I regularly manage:

- Numerical feasibility studies
- Optimization of thermal or fluidic systems
- Implementation of multiphysics models
- Industrialization of calculation scripts
- Advanced technical support for R&D teams

My added value?
I am not just a simulation executor. I understand the physics behind the models, I challenge assumptions, and I help you make sound technical decisions based on reliable results.
