Biography

Francesco Lagravinese is an engineer and doctoral student in fluid mechanics applied to hydraulic machines. A graduate in Mechanical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino with a thesis on numerical simulation in aeroacoustics, he began his doctorate in the Hydro Alps Lab in February 2025, in collaboration with the Luleå Tekniska Universitet as part of the European RevHydro project. He is continuing his thesis on unsteady phenomena in part-load Francis turbines, with the aim of developing strategies for flow control, studying RVR mitigation and developing a reduced-order model for fatigue assessment in these hydraulic machines.
