Title of Paper:

Potenziale der Brennverfahrensauslegung von Motorradmotoren zur Erreichung zukünftiger Emissions- und Kundenanforderungen.

Potential of Motorcycle-Specific Combustion Concepts to Achieve Future Emissions and Customer Requirements for Motorcycle Engines

CV & professional background:

I am currently working in Function Development at the Gasoline Engine department at BMW.

Before that I was a PhD Student at the calibration and thermodynamics department of BMW Motorrad, investigating thermodynamic engine concepts regarding future demands for motorcycle engines. The presented work is a result of the investigations during my PhD Project. The project is supervised by Prof. Eichlseder from the TU Graz.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 12 and have been passionate about them since before I could speak. Therefore, after finishing high school in Colombia, I studied Automotive and Engine Technology at the TU München. This passion lead me to engine research and development, where I hope to contribute to developing cleaner, more efficient and also more exciting engines.
