Dear Prof. De Lorenzis, I
Dear Prof. De Lorenzis,
I would be real interested. Actually I carried out my BEng at your Institution, then I moved to Politecnico di Bari to achieve my MEng and since March 2012 I serve Areva Wind GmbH as Load Calculation Engineer.
Please let me have any further information about the application iter.
Saluti,
Francesco Perrone
Francesco, where you my student? I do not remember....

Dear Francesco, Thanks
Dear Francesco,
Thanks for your comment, please send me your CV at laura.delorenzis@unisalento.it, as indicated in the post. I will explain to you the application procedure in more detail.
Best,
Laura De Lorenzis
excellent program, Laura is one of the top scientists in Italy!
I recommend all scientists and candidates in Imechanica to apply to these positions.
Laura is Humboldt fellow, Fulbrigth Fellow, ERC grant winners, and probably the single top engineer in Italy with all these prizes at the same time.
You will not waste your time if you apply with her, plus Lecce is a wonderful place, and you will enjoy also a very low cost of life.
You may even profit occasionally of my advice, since Bari is very close, Laura is a good friend, in case the topic is one of the few where I have some expertise.
So do not hesitate, Laura will certainly take only the best ones!
Michele Ciavarella, Politecnico di BARI - Italy, Rector's delegate.
