Prof. Enrico Meli
Department of Industrial Engineering,
University of Florence, Italy
Prof. Enrico Meli (11/06/1982, Firenze, Italia) received his Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2004) and his Master Degree in Mathematical Engineering (2006) from School of Engineering of Florence University (Italy). In 2010, he received his Ph. D. in Mechanism and Machine Theory from School of Engineering of the University of Bologna (Italy). From 2015 to 2020, he was Assistant Professor at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the Florence University (Italy) and, from 2021, he is now Associate Professor at same Department.
His main research interests include railway vehicles, tribology and turbomachinery. In these fields, he participated in many important national and international research projects, funded by both public Institutions (European Community, Italian Ministries, Tuscany Region, etc.) and private companies (Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Hitachi Rail Italy, Thales, Baker Hughes Nuovo Pignone, Avio, etc.).
In 2014, Prof. Enrico Meli won the important SIR 2014 PROJECT (“SIR 2014 – Scientific Independence of young Researchers”) funded by the Italian Minister for Education, University and Research (MIUR); title of the project: “Design of innovative high speed high efficiency compressors”; role in the project: Principal Investigator (PI).
Mr. Guglielmo Giannetti
Department of Industrial Engineering,
University of Florence, Italy
Guglielmo Giannetti received the B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florence, Florence, Italy, in 2015, and the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in mechanical engineering (automotive path) from the University of Florence, Florence, Italy, in 2018. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in applied mechanics at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Florence.

Mr. Giulio Deiana
Department of Industrial Engineering,
University of Florence, Italy
Giulio Deiana is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Florence. His research focuses on the study and innovation in the dynamics of rotating and non-rotating machinery, with a particular interest in the application of artificial intelligence. His work includes modal tracking and multiphysics modeling, with a specific emphasis on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in turbomachinery components. His aim is to advance the understanding and efficiency of turbomachinery technologies through innovative and integrated approaches.
