General informations
Pier Paolo Valentini graduated in 2000 in Mechanical Engineering with 100/100 marks and honors from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. The thesis entitled "Analysis of the implementation methods of a virtual manikin for the simulation of the vibrational dynamics of the man-seat system" was developed in collaboration with the Fiat Research Center of Turin and received an award from the Technical Association of the Automobile as a thesis of vehicular interest. The thesis also received an award from the Alitur association for the best thesis of the year 2000.
From 2000 to 2004 he participated in the PhD program in Mechanical Systems Design at the University of Rome Tor Vergata where in 2004 he obtained the title of PhD by developing a thesis entitled: "Predictive virtual models for the study of vibrational comfort car occupants ". praise
