Stephan Harries, Managing Director of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS:
“[..] Mr Pasquinucci sets his goals high without being overambitious or unrealistic. Besides, Mr Pasquinucci is a very friendly and team-oriented person who forms a valuable part of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS’ team. […]”
Paolo Cescot, Innovation Engineer in Elextrolux:
“I had the chance to work close to Carlo and I appreciated his professional and efficient approach to problem solving. He brought a lot of energy and commitment to teamwork, useful notes to raise the level of involvement of the whole team. From the technical point of view I was really impressed by his skills in particular on the CAE approach to the mechanical design and his ability to dive into the physical behaviour of complex appliances being capable to propose creative solutions.”
Ruggero Poletto, Founder of CFD-FEA Service:
“In the beginning, it was just a LinkedIn contact but later it got transformed into a personal friendship. Since we met, I got struck by Carlo’s passion about CAE/FEM/CFD tools and, at the same time, knowledge of optimisation problem and algorithms. I can confirm Pasquinucci’s quality as a very proactive person, with a good problem-solving skill and excellent team working capability. His CFD software and programming language knowledge make him surely suitable to achieve his ambitions goals."
Simone Cremonesi, Owner of AMTR&D:
“Before we met Mr Pasquinucci, our development was based basically on experimental tests. He showed us the potential of the Simulation based Design and under his teachings and suggestions, in very few months, we had the opportunity to learn Computation Fluid Dynamics and perform several simulations with a huge progress of the development of the new project.”
Federico Monterosso, Owner of Omiq S.R.L:
"I had the chance to collaborate with Carlo a couple of years ago. I was very impressed by his professionalism and dedication to the project we were working on. His technical skills, specifically in the use of CAESES but also in general on shape optimisation, resulted in a very successful project.”
