After attaining a M.Sc in Material Science and Engineering and after few years of R&D activities in the photovoltaic and renewable energy field, in 2005 I joined RCF as pre-sales engineer. During these years my expertise kept growing in electroacoustics and sound systems design as application engineer up to project management. In particular nowadays, my group and I work on modelling and simulating complex venues to achieve optimal audio performances, as well as designing the most suitable electric and electronic distribution and management system to fulfil customer expectations. I have direct experience in leading projects from the kick-off to system start up, tuning and optimization worldwide. Further to these activities, I'm providing technical support on products and systems, as well as training on acoustics, electroacoustic and system design subjects, even at academic and post graduated level cooperating with DISMI Unimore .
