Floriano Bonfigli’s Summary
Professional with attested success in turning imaginative ideas into market oriented products or services. Demonstrated ability to plan, develop and implement all facets of product management. Offers passion for continuous improvement and collaborative style to strengthen competitive market position.
In particular, I'm currently a Product Manager at Agfa Healthcare, a leading provider of IT-enabled diagnostic image management solutions and enterprise-wide Hospital Information Systems. I have a fairly extensive experience in the Admission-Transfer-Discharge (aka ADT), Medical Documentation, Computer Physician Order Entry & Result Reporting (aka CPOE&RR) and Diagnosis Related Group (aka DRG) hospital processes. My main goal is to turn these daily life activities into state-of-the-art seamless IT workflows.
In fact, I'm a Mechanical Engineer holding Masters degrees in both Structural Analysis and Composite Materials. I have worked as composite structural engineer at ATR Group, probably the biggest composite material OEM group in Italy. I have engineered automotive, aeronautical and marine components.
I've also run a individual consultancy organization which has already served industries as well as architects and free-lance writers. I'm focused on matrix and reinforcement raw materials, manufacturing processes and marine standards such as ISO-DIS 12215-5.

Imperial College London
MSc , Composite Materials , 2004 — 2005
The esteemed university, ranked 1st in Europe and 5th in the world for engineering, runs a unique course fully dedicated to composites where I covered 26 taught modules and handed in:
• 4 short and 2 long laboratory reports (all of them aced),
• 1 literature review, “Composite manufacturing processes in the aerospace industry” (aced),
• 2 executive summaries on NDE and Analytical Characterization techniques,
• 1 bridge design group project report, in which I covered the structural analysis part and
• the 5 month individual project, “A new composite free-standing wing mast for a new concept boat”. The research was entitled to be presented at the 2006 II SEA-MED (Structural Engineering Analysis–Marine dEvelopment Design) Congress held at Messina University and was also published on the boatbuilding professional magazine “By Sea”. -
Università di Bologna
Dr. , Mechanical Engineering , 1994 — 2004
(5 year taught course + 9 month final project)
• Dissertation: “Gurney flap in sailing application, do they help?”. The research was mainly carried out at Strathclyde University in Glasgow thanks to the Socrates exchange program. It started from the analysis of the Physics of sailing and of the so-called Gurney flap. Then, by networking with sailing professionals, 2 applications were patterned. In particular, an I-14 centreboard fitted with the flap was modelled and tested with the new CFD science.
• 29 taught modules, among others Mechanical Drawing & Design, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Stress Analysis, Mechanical Technology, Vibrations & Dynamics and Aerodynamics.
• Work handed in: 25 mechanical drawings, 6 laboratory reports, 4 pieces of C++ software, 3 case studies, 3 group project reports, and books and books of exercises. -
Strathclyde University, Glasgow
Erasmus student January 2003 — July 2003
On a personal level, this was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Not only did I study English ‘on the field’ but I was also “in the eyes of the world” for six months by being in contact and making friends with people from all of the five Continents.

Floriano Bonfigli’s Honors:
On 2004, my MechEng thesis won the First Award in Industrial Innovation: from Lathe to Computer, a only one winner engineering contest for the young, presenting their innovative ideas or patented products. Organized by the Bologna City Council, it had a €25,000 prize, the biggest in Italy for this sort of contests.
On 2006, an article summarizing the MSc thesis was published by “By Sea, Magazine for Innovative Boatbuilding Techniques”.
On 2007, the MSc project was included in the ISISI project: a easy to transport, sail and dismount boat born for camping purposes, designed by the architect Domenico Maddaluno. ISISI has recently won the SEATEC 2007 Awards as best project for entry level naval architects.
I remember plenty of nice sports moments. I have always been playing football, even at a pro-level when teenager, being the team’s captain for several seasons. At university, a friend of mine and I started our own team and rose money to have new uniforms each season.
