Sergio Mario Camporeale

Sergio Mario Camporeale is a Full Professor at Politecnico di Bari and Director of the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He is affiliated with the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics & Management, where his research focuses on advancing sustainable energy technologies. His work bridges experimental investigations and computational modeling to address challenges in renewable energy deployment.

Research interests center on fluid machinery, hydrogen combustion, thermal energy storage, and renewable energy systems. Key areas include:

• Hydrogen integration in combustion engines and fuel cells
• Optimization of thermal storage systems (e.g., shell-and-tube LHTES)
• CFD-driven design of wave/tidal converters and wind turbines
• Decarbonization of industrial processes and marine propulsion

Recent publications (2023–2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on hydrogen as a clean energy vector, thermoacoustic stability, and economic feasibility of renewable communities. Trends include multi-objective optimization of energy systems, experimental validation of numerical models, and applications in transportation decarbonization.
