Spin-off "initiatives for Bio-Materials Behaviour" iBMB Srls

iBMB Srls, among other engineering fields, deals with "research and development, production and marketing of innovative services ...

... and products in the biotechnology field." While working the the project POEM (Predictive Oncology via Engineering Modeling) we were rewarded a PROOF of EXCELLENCE by INNOLABS (a Horizon2020 cluster). That event changed completely our corporate vision.
We understood the fundamental process of business accelerating, which consisted in understanding the importance of what is essential apart from the idea itself. We gained a better understanding on business need and solution, intellectual property rights, market analysis, pricing, business plan, legal and financial aspects (cash flow, income, balance, etc.). In due time, we will also get to manage supply chain, human resources development and recruiting (hopefully).
We could start managing funding and investors, and learn how to execute correctly an operational plan. In the meanwhile, we grasped the central role of communication and networking and the importance of a strong sales strategy. At the end, we realized how long (and difficult) the way is to build a company from scratch.

The Spin-off was approved by the University of Basilicata in 2023; iBMB was incorporated in 2023, VAT ID 02156870764.
Its activity beginnning presently pending, iBMB Srls is going to be appointed (as per the Italian Law) as an Innovative Startup.

Currently, the following 2 projects are being exploited by the Spin-off:...


CFDNOVA fornisce supporto alle imprese che operano nei settori bio-fisico e agri-food ...

... mediante l’utilizzo della tecnologia modellativa della Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) combinando le competenze trasversali dell'ingegneria meccanica, chimica, delle tecnologie alimentari e biotecnologiche. In questo modo, offriamo servizi personalizzati in grado di migliorare la qualità dei prodotti, ridurre tempi e costi di processo, e progettare impianti innovativi:  in altre parole, CFDnova opera nell’ambito della progettazione ed ottimizzazione della triade Prodotti, Processi e Impianti dell'azienda cliente.

La tecnologia modellativa della CFD rappresenta uno strumento indispensabile e consolidato per l'analisi e la progettazione in numerosi settori industriali. Oggi, la CFD può divenire un'importante opportunità da sfruttare nell'innovazione di queste industrie.

I nostri servizi sono:

Di seguito un elenco dei recenti progetti di trasferimento tecnologico in ambito agri-food che abbiamo eseguito in Basilicata:

Attività Didattica
Teaching

Nell'ambito della Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica (LM-33), CFDNOVA è il corso di Fenomeni di trasporto (9 CFU), descritto qui. Il corso ha un libro di testo, la cui prefazione è disponibile qui.

Within the Master's Degree program in Mechanical Engineering (LM-33), CFDNOVA consists in the course on Transport Phenomena (9 CFU credits), described here. Course textbook's preface can be downloaded here.

Attività di Ricerca
Research

Here you find a list of recent publications from the Modeling and Prototyping Lab. CFDNOVA employs the main open and commercial solvers ...

... (OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent, Comsol Multiphysics) for transport phenomena modeling, and multiobjective optimizations (modeFRONTIER). Within the Dept. of Engineering, the Modeling and Prototyping Multiphysics Laboratory (ModProLAB) carries our computational resources and a few ongoing experiments. The experiments run as validations of the related numerical modeling.

Whenever possible, we strive to parallel our Modeling with Prototypes, or lab-scale benches. A great deal of processes around us involve physical, as well as chemical and biological effects, and useful numerical description can be tried with our technology. Modeling is exactly the virtual representation of these numerous occurrences.

CFDNOVA competences can be found in the following:

Fluidodynamics and Transport Phenomena in general

Thermal Analysis

Multiphysics Phenomena

Energy Analysis

Processes to/in Bio-Substrates
