Alberto Serena
About
I am a Renewable Energy professional (Master’s, PhD and MBA) with a 10+ year experience in the value chain creation and management of innovation initiatives in Academia, multinational and small-medium enterprises, across different sectors.
My specific research experience has focused on off-design performance of electric and fluid machines for fluids processing, energy conversion and electric mobility
As a member of the Thermal Turbomachinery Research Team at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the main research topic is the study of flow unsteadiness and machine instabilities, based on experimental testing complemented by Computational Fluid Dynamics, Time-Frequency Analysis and System Modeling
Research
I am part of the Thermal Turbomachinery Research Team, led by Prof. Lars Eirik Bakken
Current research field is focused on the Digital Twin for Turbomachinery instabilities analysis
