Sabino is currently a research engineer at Energy Department of Politecnico di Torino. From 2015 to 2018 he received a PhD scholarship in Energetics funded by General Motors Global Propulsion Systems about “Thermal insulation technologies for automotive Diesel engine applications”. His research activities concern the modelling and the evaluation of innovative Diesel engine technologies using CFD simulation, and the experimental investigation at dyno-test bench. Previously Sabino was involved for one year in the framework of the collaborative European project ARTEMIS, focused on the development of a high temperature PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) for automotive application. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 2014 with a final thesis entitled “Analysis of CO 2 emissions from passenger cars on different driving cycles”.

Relevant experience
Rich experience in Diesel engine simulation and engine thermal models (in particular, 1D-CFD simulation software, GT-SUITE). Competent in engine test (good knowledge in AVL PUMA, INDICOM and CAMEO software, and competent in measurement instrumentation).

Knowing and understanding new cultures being one of the passion of Savio. So when he isn’t working, he is either travelling or planning his next backpack trip.
