Cristiano Segatori

Cristiano Segatori serves as a Fixed-term Assistant Professor in the Department of Energy (DENERG) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, specializing in Fluid Machinery (IIND-06/A) within Industrial and Information Engineering. His teaching portfolio spans Mechanical and Automotive Engineering programs, including Master's courses on Internal Combustion Engines and Engine Emissions Control for academic years 2022/23-2025/26, and Bachelor's courses in Fluid Machinery fundamentals.

Segatori earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin, culminating in his 2024 doctoral thesis on ducted fuel injection as a soot-reduction strategy for compression-ignition engines. His research bridges fluid mechanics, propulsion engineering, and sustainable energy systems with emphasis on computational analysis of engine technologies.

His research program focuses on emissions control through innovative fuel injection strategies, particularly ducted fuel injection (DFI) systems. Employing advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and large eddy simulations (LES), he investigates mixing enhancement mechanisms, turbulence modeling, and soot formation mitigation in internal combustion engines. This work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals for clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, and climate action.

Analysis of Segatori's 2020-2024 publications reveals concentrated advancement of ducted fuel injection technology through both numerical and experimental approaches. Key developments include LES-based validation frameworks, runtime optimization techniques for simulations, and practical implementation strategies for retrofitted diesel engines. His work demonstrates consistent progression from fundamental mechanism analysis (2020) toward comprehensive system optimization (2024).
