Simone Giorgi

Biography

Simone Giorgi received his Masters Degree in Electronics with first class honours in 2002 at the "Universita degli Studi di Ferrara" (UNIFE) in Ferrara, Italy. In 2006 he moved to Dublin, Ireland. Simone has 10 years of working experience, mainly in the sector of Automation Engineering. During his career he held different positions in various companies, which gave him a wide overview about engineering design - from the conceptual stage to detailed electrical design, device selection and integration, panel and system manufacturing & testing, and field installation & start-up. In 2012 he completed a Masters in Renewable Energy Systems in NUIM with first class honours. Since September 2012 Simone is a PhD student at the Center for Ocean Energy Research at NUIM. His research project is focused on nonlinear parametric modelling for wave energy devices, by using numerical wave tank data.
