Biography [ENG]

Paolo Terranova is a mechanical engineer with a great interest in two- and four-wheels vehicles.
Currently, Paolo is a PhD student at Virginia Polytechnic: in charge of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, he is involved in different projects regarding vehicle safety.
During 2021 has worked at Knorr-Bremse Rail System Italy as a Rail Brake Testing Engineer. His main activities were software validation with bench tests, static and dynamic testing, and verification of communication on data networks.
Paolo spent his master thesis (supervisor was Prof. Hampton C. Gabler) working alongside the “Centre for Injury Biomechanics” of Virginia TECH and the MOVING group of the University of Florence, studying the applicability of some active safety systems for motorcycles on all the real crashes occurred in Prato (Italy) during 2018.
