I've played basketball for as long as I can remember: seventeen seasons since 2009, one step at a time up to a Serie A debut in 2021.
About
Mattia
Ferdeghini.
I'm from Bologna, and I studied mechanical engineering here. I love the city for its porticoes and its food, and it has a serious engineering tradition too.
At the Università di Bologna I took my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (2021–2025), finishing with a thesis on energy efficiency in industrial mills. I like problems that need both math and intuition.
Outside engineering I play basketball (since 2009), cook Emilian food and have strong opinions on music.

Experience
Played professionally in the Italian Serie A. That level takes discipline, and it taught me to work in a team and perform under pressure. I still play today, at a non-professional level.
See the full careerIntensive English courses and cultural immersion abroad, which improved my English and got me used to adapting to multicultural environments.
Education
My thesis applied mechanical engineering to a sustainability problem: an improved grinding-mill design for better energy efficiency. Advisor: Prof. Alessandra Bonoli.

Beyond work
The human side.
Outside engineering, these are the two things I spend my time on.

Emilian through and through. I approach cooking a bit like engineering, with variables and a process to get right, except here you get to eat the prototype.
