Curriculum

Dr Bortoloni has been carrying out research on the horizontal ground heat exchangers (HGHEs) in coupling with ground coupled heat pumps in the past 4 years. He has an in-depth knowledge in geothermal systems based on heat pump technology, and a considerable experience in heat transfer, fluid flow and numerical simulation.

Dr Bortoloni obtained his Master’s degree in 2011. In 2016 he obtained a Ph.D. in Science of Engineering (Doctor Europaeus Certificate) from the University of Ferrara. During his Ph.D. study he obtained funds from the University of Ferrara (Young  Researchers Funds 2014) to carry out a 5 months research period at the University of Nottingham.

He has published 5 referred papers in highly ranked and prestigious journals during the past 4 years. At present day he is conducting a postdoctoral research at University of Ferrara.

Since 2015  he has been involved in the European LIFE Project HEROTILE - High Energy savings in building cooling by ROof TILEs shape optimization toward a better above sheathing ventilation (2015-2018) as co-investigator.
