Summary
Umberto Armani is a Group Quality Project Validation Manager with a decade of experience combining seismic qualification, vibration control, and simulation-based engineering across HVAC, IT, power, automotive and aerospace sectors. He holds a PhD in metamodelling and optimisation and has applied machine learning, particle swarm and evolutionary algorithms to structural optimisation and uncertainty quantification on projects including A350 fuselage studies. Skilled in static and dynamic test design (sine sweep/step, DoE), DFMEA/PFMEA and major seismic codes (UBC/IBC/NZS), he bridges hands-on lab testing with C++/Python/Matlab simulation and Linux scripting. Umberto has led cross-border certification efforts and coordinated test campaigns with international labs, bringing a practical knack for translating complex customer requirements into compliant, testable solutions. He also has a background in manufacturing simulation and business development, enabling cost-aware engineering decisions. Based in Veneto, Italy, he uniquely blends aerospace research rigor with field-proven seismic qualification and product validation expertise.
