Aurora Maffei is an Aerospace Engineer from the University of Naples Federico II. Within ENCODING her responsibilities include:

1. Conducting an advanced experimental campaign in the ITV partially premixed turbulent jet facility, enabling MILD combustion conditions.
2. Utilizing optical in-flame and post-combustion measurements alongside various sensing techniques to study different fuel blends, including hydrogen, methane, and ammonia.
3. Integrating OH-LIF and PIV techniques with gas sampling and diverse sensors (e.g., thermocouples, ionization sensors, photodiodes) to elucidate correlations between sensor signals and performance characteristics.
4. Generating a comprehensive dataset for the development and validation of data-driven soft-sensor models based on machine-learning techniques, enhancing understanding and control of combustion processes.
