Biography
I graduated in Mechanical Engineer at Politecnico di Milano in 2008 with a thesis on “Control Strategies for an Hybrid Vehicle Drivetrain”. In 2009 I started to work as a research engineer at the Energy Department of the same institution carrying out a study on the assessment of wind resource in the Appennini mountains. From 2010 I attended the PhD course in “Energy and Nuclear Science and Technology” of Politecnico, focusing my research on dynamic modeling of energy conversion systems, in particular of waste to energy plants. In 2014 I received the PhD degree with a dissertation titled “Dynamic Modelling of Complex Energy Systems”. The same year I joined the Power & Propulsion group as Post-doctoral researcher.
My current research activities revolve around modelling techniques and numerical methods for simulation of complex physical systems, design of waste heat recovery units for power generation, and the study of gas dynamics of non-ideal compressible flows.

NWO Open Technology Program Grant
Prof. Colonna, voorzitter van de onderzoeksgroep Propulsion and Power, en zijn collega’s Dr. De Servi, Dr. Pini en Dr. Vos hebben een NWO Open Technology Program Grant van € 1.300.000 ontvangen voor het onderzoeksproject "Waste Heat Recovery Systems for More Electric Aircraft". Het doel van dit programma is het ontwikkelen van een baanbrekende technologie voor de terugwinning van restwarmte die de brandstofefficiëntie van vliegtuigen sterk zal verhogen, namelijk ultralichte organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power systems.
Twee toepassingen maken deel uit van het onderzoek. Een kan eerder op de markt worden gebracht, namelijk een auxiliary power unit (APU) op basis van gasturbines met ORC-restwarmte-terugwinning die alle benodigde elektrische energie tijdens de vlucht levert met een zeer hoog rendement. Voor de wat verdere toekomst wordt gekeken naar turbofanmotor met gecombineerde cyclus. Het team zal nieuwe stroom- en motorconfiguraties bestuderen die radicaal nieuwe ontwerpen voor zowel turbomachinerie als warmtewisselaarcomponenten toepassen.
