Profile of Olaf Marzocchi
Olaf Marzocchi received a master of Energy Engineering (Ingegneria Energetica) on the 19th March 2007 from the faculty of engineering of the University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy. The thesis title is "Automation of a Gamma Spectrometric Analysis Method for Naturally Occurring Radionuclides in Different Materials (NORM)".
The final work has been written during a six month period spent at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, HS-ÜM department, and is about the development, the implementation and the validation of a new software, able to speed up the analysis of the spectra of radioactive sources containing mostly natural radionuclides.
The work was supervised by Prof. Ing. Domiziano Mostacci (DIENCA department of the University of Bologna), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Manfred Urban (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, HS department) and Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Wilhelm (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, HS-ÜM department).
The final work is available in PDF format here (3,2 MiB, English language), all the right are reserved and property of the author, Olaf Marzocchi; only the use for private purposes or didactic purposes is allowed.
In December 2004 Olaf Marzocchi received a bachelor degree of Energy Engineering from the same Faculty of Engineering, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, with the work "Simulazione e analisi fisica del comportamento di sorgenti di plasma termico per il taglio di materiali metallici in differenti condizioni operative" ("Simulation and Physical Analysis of the Behaviour of Thermal Plasma Sources for the Cutting of Metallic Materials in Different Operating Conditions").
The project was centred on CFD simulations of the flux of gases in DC plasma torches, in collaboration with Cebora S.p.A (Cadriano di Granarolo, Bologna, Italy), along with the Research group on industrial applications of Plasmas (DIEM, University of Bologna, Italy).
Supervisor: Prof. Ing. Vittorio Colombo.
The final work is available in PDF format (23 MiB, Italian language - waiting for permission) here, all the right are reserved and property of the author, Olaf Marzocchi; only the use for private purposes or didactic purposes is allowed.
