Francesco Accurso joined the e3 team as a PhD student of Energetics. He is the recipient of a scholarship funded by Wärtsilä Italia S.p.A. His research activity aims to develop a 1D-CFD predictive combustion model for large bore dual fuel marine engines, that are fueled with natural gas and ignited by the combustion of a small quantity of diesel fuel

Francesco received the M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino in October 2018. His Master Thesis focused on the development of an energy management strategy capable to consider the electric power for electric supercharger in the power split optimization for a 48 V Mild-Hybrid vehicle. Previously he has worked as intern in Powertech Engineering S.r.l. on electrified powertrain simulation and energy management strategies optimization.
