About the speaker
Francesco Chillè
Independent Consultant @ FCSolutionS
Francesco graduated in Structural Engineering at the Technical University of Milan (Politecnico) in 1989. Since the late 1990s, he has been involved in advanced engineering services for the oil and gas, energy, processes sectors related to gas dispersion and explosion, and structural response against dynamic and impulsive loads.
From 1991 to 2006 he worked within various departments and companies of the ENEL group, dealing with electrical components explosion-related problems and impact on structures, both in research and development projects and consulting studies.
From 2008 to 2015 he worked closely with Gexcon, leading the Milan office from 2012 to 2015. Since 2015, he has operated as an independent consultant within FCSolutionS.
About FLUG
The FLACS User Group (FLUG) is a high-profile discussion forum for engineers, safety experts, and industry scholars.
FLUG meets to discuss new software developments and safety-related topics. Its work has played an integral role in the development of Gexcon’s industry-leading software, which represents more than 40 years of extensive and unrivalled modelling and validation work.
