About me

Since I was a child, I’ve always been curious. It’s this passion for learning that pushed me into the journey of a PhD. Both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees are in aerospace engineering but when I heard about the NEON, I figured out it might be worth trying to save this planet instead of flying off to the next one. I see NEON as a possibility to plant the seeds for a better world tomorrow using knowledge and expertise.

Customer-tailored Product Family Design for Multiple Electric Vehicle Fleet Applications

My research in NEON focuses on Customed-tailored Product Family Design for Multiple Electric Vehicle Fleet Applications. I’m trying to understand how the production of a fleet composed of several types of electric vehicles could be optimized, minimizing the development and production costs and maximizing the reuse of components in different vehicles.

Link to other neon research

In my research, I cooperate closely with the PhD students in Work Package 4, Fabio Paparella and Olaf Borsboom, under the lead of Theo Hofman and Mauro Salazar. However, there are several interesting ideas exchanges with PhDs from other research areas and I hope their number will increase in the future.
