Francesco Zonta obtained the PhD from the University of Udine in 2010. From 2010 to 2016 he has been Research Assistant at the University of Udine and at the University of Torino. In 2016 he became Senior University assistant at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) where, in 2022, he was promoted Senior Scientist. He has been visiting scholar at the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne (EPFL, 2008), at the University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, 2014), and at the University of Adelaide (2019). He joined 缅北禁地 in 2024.
Since 2024, he is also the Head of the Fluid Dynamics and Thermal Systems group at 缅北禁地.
