rbfLAB is pleased to acknowledge the recent graduation of nine Engineering students from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, whose bachelor’s thesis projects addressed a broad range of advanced and multidisciplinary research topics.

The research activities developed by the candidates covered areas including nuclear fusion technologies, motorsport engineering, advanced aerodynamics, computational simulations, additive manufacturing, structural analysis, topology optimization, and transmission systems design. The quality and diversity of the work highlight the strong integration between academic research and industrial innovation, as well as the technical expertise and commitment demonstrated by the students throughout their academic path.

The graduates and their thesis titles are listed below: Riccardo Tauro — “Evolution of Composite Materials in Aeronautical Structures”; Gabriele Ottaviani — “CFD-Based Optimization of a High-Performance Intake Manifold for MJF 3D Printing Manufacturing”; Davide Meloni — “Fatigue Crack Propagation in the Pretensioned Jacket of a Fusion Reactor: Implementation of an Innovative Workflow”; Mihai Alin Helciug — “Interactive Aerodynamic Design Based on Physics-Informed Models and Immersive Visualization”; Giuliano Graniglia — “FSI Analysis of a Formula SAE Wing through Modal Superposition and FMI”; Matteo Crociani — “FEM Analysis and Structural Verification of a Bolted Joint in the VNS Reactor”; Leonardo Porro — “Design and Analysis of a Single-Stage Gear Reducer Using KISSsoft”; Leonardo Iovenitti — “Topology Optimization of an Inter-Outer Intercoil Structure System for a VNS Fusion Reactor”; Gabriele Bortolotto — “Thermo-Structural Optimization through Finite Element Methods of the Intake Manifold of an Internal Combustion Engine”.

These projects demonstrate how the next generation of engineers is already contributing to the development of advanced solutions in aerospace, energy, automotive, manufacturing, and digital engineering sectors.

rbfLAB extends its congratulations to all graduates for this important academic achievement and wishes them continued success in their future professional and research activities.
