Curriculum Vitae

 

About

After his PhD, he won a position as Researcher on “Energy Systems” at the University of L’Aquila, where he as worked from 1995 to 2006. His main interest was on internal combustion engines and he has carried a lot of experimental activity in the engine lab. Meanwhile, a first daughter was born in 1997 and a second in 2003. In 2005 he spent 6 months as a visiting scholar at the University of Florence and re-established his contacts with the Thermodynamic and Heat Transfer group dating back to the PhD years. So, he decided to revert to this area and changed his scientific sector to “Fisica Tecnica Industriale”. In 2006 he was back in the University of Florence, where he still works, mainly in the field of Refrigeration.

Curriculum Vitae

 

About

Andrea Rocchetti obtained the degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Florence (Italy). After the Ph.D. in Energy Engineering, he founded an engineering company with other partners, covering the role of HVAC System Manager and transferring his general research issues into design practice. Alongside, he continues the research and teaching activity at the Department of Industrial Engineering with Prof. Giuseppe Grazzini, with a focus on the renewable resources, thermodynamic optimization, heat and mass transfer, IAQ, energy efficiency of buildings and of advanced energy services in the civil and industrial fields and in the cold chain. A significant career break happens in 2013 when he gets and Associate Research position at DIEF, confirmed in 2016 and in 2020 advanced to Associate Professor.
