Capsule bio

Gianluca Coccia was born in San Benedetto del Tronto (AP), Italy, in May 05, 1989. From Università Politecnica delle Marche (Ancona, Italy), he obtained his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 and his master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2013. In 2017, he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering from Università Politecnica delle Marche. Since February 2017, he has worked as research fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (DIISM) of Università Politecnica delle Marche. His research field includes solar thermal engineering and the study of the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of fluids.
