Curriculum

Stefano Ubertini graduated in 1998 in Mechanical Engineering and received his PhD in 2002 from the University of Perugia. From 2002 to 2007 he has been employed as Assistant Professor at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", from 2007 to 2012 as Associate Professor at the University of Naples "Parthenope", and since 2012 he is employed at the University of Tuscia, where he was upgraded as Full Professor in Fluid Machinery and Energy Systems in 2015. At the University of Tuscia he is also the Director of the Department of Economics, Engineering, Society and Business Organisation since January 2016 and he acted as the Coordinator of the PhD program in "Engineering for Energy and Environment" (2015), Chairman of the BSc in Industrial Engineering (2012-2016) and of the MSc in Mechanical Engineering (2015) and he holds the courses “Applied Thermodynamics”, “Fluid Machinery” and “Energy Management”. His research activity has been focused on energy systems, energy management, propulsion systems, thermo-fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction. This activity resulted in over 150 papers in international scientific journals and refereed conference proceedings, totaling over 1600 citations (h-index=23). He is member of the board of the directors of the research center CINTEST and of the Italian Section of the Society of Automotive Engineering. He has been member of the board of the directors of the research institutes SCIRE Consortium and COMETA Consortium. Since 2005 he has been actively working on conferences and scientific disclosure activities on fuel cells, energy systems, vehicle propulsors and thermo-fluid dynamics as a member of scientific and organizing committees, as technical program manager and as session organizer and chairman.
