Franco Concli was born in Bolzano, Italy, on May 21, 1985. He received his Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2009 at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He developed his MD thesis about structural damages of helicopter gearboxes (Agusta-Westland). He graduated Ph.D. (European Label, with merit) on March 27, 2013 at Politecnico di Milano. The title of his Ph.D. thesis is “Efficiency of gear transmissions and CFD analisys of load independent power losses". In 2012 he had a reseach fellowship at the FZG Dept. of the TU Munich and in 2013 a Post. Doc. position at the mechanical department of Politecnico di Milano (ENI). His research fields include the development of CFD tools for the prediction of power losses, thermal regimes and efficiency of gearboxes and FEM modeling.
