Marco Tezzele, alumnus of SISSA (International School Higher of Advanced Studies) and currently postdoc at Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences of the University of Texas in Austin, was awarded the prestigious award Anile-ECMI 2023 for the excellent thesis project entitled "Data-driven parameter and model order reduction for industrial optimization problems with applications in naval engineering". The project has been realized thanks to the collaboration between the mathLab research group of SISSA and Fincantieri.

Tezzele's thesis aimed to optimize the process of ship design through the application of Reduction of parameters and order of the model. Especially studied different models used to solve specific problems in marine engineering, such as structural optimization of cruise ships, the definition of the shape of the hull for multipurpose boats and NACA airfoils (National Advisory) Committee for Aeronautics), and the prediction of hydroacoustic noises.

Tezzele's thesis work was highly appreciated by the jury that unanimously decided to award him the Anile-ECMI Award 2023. The award, established in honor of the Professor Angelo Marcello Anile (1948-2007) and funded jointly by ECMI and the Angelo Marcello Anile Association, is awarded to a young researcher for demonstrated excellence in the presentation of a doctoral thesis in mathematics industrial at a European university.
