As Engineer I work in design and analysis of offshore systems, risers, floating bodies, moorings and subsea projects.

As a Researcher my field of interest is in fluid dynamics and naval and offshore hydrodynamics, especially in free surface dynamics, wave breaking and fluid structure interaction.

In this website I have published some information about my work, my publications and my research.

Prelay taut mooring system system for MODU with fibre ropes for drilling in deep water: cyclone rated

Prelay catenary mooring system system for MODU with fibre ropes for drilling in shallow water: cyclone rated

Dynamic Analysis of a catamaran hull in cyclonic weather conditions. Left: hydrodynamic simulation using MOSES; right: hydrodynamic mesh of the hull.

Mooring design and analysis for Offshore systems.

Vortex Induced Motions studies for Offshore structures.

Model developed for the installation analysis of a mid-water arch (MWA) supporting risers, typical application in shallow waters.

Models of spools and spreader bars developed for detailed installations analysis through the splash zone and water column for a large subsea development.

Model developed for a tandem offloading analysis in an offshore oil basin.

This is a three dimensional view of a model developed for the disconnection analysis of a Riser Turret Mooring System attached at the bow of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel.

Setup for a sloshing experiment at the hydrodynamics lab at the Univ. of Western Australia

Sample of fast image acquisition and associated pressure trace.

Investigation of the wave breaking induced by submerged wing profile in the glass recirculating water channel of INSEAN.

Snapshot of stability tests of ships with respect to the variation of metacentric height in regular waves at the 250m long towing tank basin of INSEAN.

Experimental investigation and successive reconstruction of the near field wave profile of the breaking bow wave of a combatant hull. The colours highlight the intense turbulent areas showing evidence of breaking. The model was 10m long.
