External collaborations FEV Italia General Motors Global Propulsion Sytems RWTH Aachen, Germany Highlights of the research activity In the first year of my PhD, I worked on integrating the widely-used Design of Experiment (DoE) models with after-treatment system models for the development of new calibration methodologies for automotive diesel engines. DoE models are extensively used for engine calibration as the physical models available for combustion process are too complex. The purpose of combining the after-treatment system models with DoE models was
