Dr. Guido Napolitano Dell’Annunziata
Department of Industrial Engineering,
University of Naples Federico II, Italy
Dr. Guido Napolitano Dell’Annunziata, Ph.D., graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Currently, he is a Post-doc research fellow of the applied mechanics research group, with a particular focus in the vehicle dynamics field. The main aim of his research activities is to evaluate and predict vehicle performance thanks to the use of several vehicle and tire models, powered with acquisitions obtained from outdoor and indoor test sessions. His research is also centred on tire-road interaction phenomena, tire properties characterization, two-wheel vehicles and smart materials.
