Biography

Annalisa joined the M3 Department of the University of Nottingham as a PhD Student in April 2018. His supervisors are Dr Antonino La Rocca and Prof. Alasdair Cairns. She received a BEng degree in Energy Engineering in 2015 from University of Palermo, Italy. She received an MSc degree at University of Palermo on Energetic and Nuclear Engineering in 2017. After moving in Uk in 2017 she worked as assistant researcher on a project investigating the impact of copper leaching on combustion characteristics and particulate emissions in HPCR diesel engines before beginning her PhD. Her research focuses on an innovative prototype which aims to reduce the turbo-lag issue in turbocharger; its implementation in hydraulic hybrid vehicles requires fundamental fluid dynamic studies on rotational machinery and associated mechanical losses.
