engineering designs across various innovative applications.<br />

Stefano shared the key factors that have led to his success as<br />

an Italian entrepreneur buil<strong>di</strong>ng a US and Global business, as<br />

well as the crucial role played by global partnerships with<br />

both companies and universities. This talk turned out to be<br />

a great opportunity to mix and mingle with young and<br />

seasoned professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and all the<br />

extended BAIA community, while enjoying Italian wine and<br />

delicious appetizers.<br />

Stefano participated in an animated and dynamic roundtable<br />

<strong>di</strong>scussion with students of the Fulbright BEST group<br />

pursuing the Certificate of the Technology Entrepreneurship<br />

program offered by the Center for Innovation &<br />

Entrepreneurship (CIE) of Santa Clara.<br />

BAIA is an independent,<br />

nonprofit, open, apolitical<br />

business network that offers a<br />

place (physical and virtual) to<br />

facilitate the open exchange of<br />

knowledge and information, business opportunities,<br />

relationships and to promote a culture of innovation through<br />

entrepreneurial spirit and principles for Entrepreneurs,<br />

managers, professionals and interested in<strong>di</strong>viduals in the<br />

United States and in Italy. For more information, please visit<br />

Stefano also met with Prof. Gianluca Iaccarino of Stanford<br />

University. The meeting turned out to be a pleasant talk<br />

between two people who share an enthusiasm for innovation<br />

and excellence. <strong>EnginSoft</strong> and Stanford both act as<br />

laboratories for technology transfer to industry. They strongly<br />

invest in the next generation of engineering and technology<br />

experts, to foster their growth and dynamism, a perfect<br />

combination for a future collaboration. The obvious synergy<br />

between Stanford and <strong>EnginSoft</strong> will provide our customers<br />

with even more innovative solutions to meet industrial<br />

challenges, such as increasing quality and reducing project<br />

times.<br />

<strong>EnginSoft</strong> provide access to a range of services related to the<br />

calculation and optimization of thermo-fluids, unmatched to<br />

Prof. Iaccarino and Prof. Odorizzi <strong>di</strong>scovered that they have<br />

a lot of interests and business objectives in common. A part<br />

from the high technological content of their meeting and<br />

talks, both are aware that great networking opportunities are<br />

in<strong>di</strong>spensable to realize innovative visions.<br />

Stefano Odorizzi also met with Stanford Professor Bernard<br />

Widrow. In fact, the first statement of Professor Widrow<br />

was: “Optimization is everywhere," certainly a great start<br />

for a sparkling conversation! The two gurus exchanged<br />

ideas about the use of optimization techniques applied to<br />

human-like memory computers while enjoying tea. Prof.<br />

Widrow underlined its outstan<strong>di</strong>ng ability and talent for<br />

describing his most complex research at Stanford with simple<br />

words.<br />

Silicon Valley represents a unique blend of knowledge,<br />

advanced research, remarkable<br />

capital investments, and expertise. All this makes Silicon<br />

Valley an ideal and unique place to do business.<br />

Prof. Gianluca Iaccarino is an Assistant<br />

Professor at the Mechanical Engineering<br />

Institute for Computational Mathematical<br />

Engineering at Stanford University with<br />

many years of experience in fluid dynamics,<br />

physical modeling and advanced computer<br />

simulations.<br />

Prof. Bernard Widrow's<br />

research at Stanford<br />

focuses on adaptive<br />

signal processing,<br />

adaptive control systems,<br />

adaptive neural networks,<br />

human memory, and<br />

human-like memory for<br />

computers. He is the<br />

coinventor of the Widrow-Hoff Least mean squares filter<br />

(LMS) adaptive algorithm with the doctoral student Ted Hoff.<br />

The LMS algorithm led to the ADALINE and MADALINE<br />

artificial neural networks and to the back propagation<br />

technique. He has more than 21 patents under his name.<br />

Stanford University is located between San Francisco and San<br />

Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley, it is world-known for its<br />

multi<strong>di</strong>sciplinary research within its schools and<br />

departments, as well as its independent laboratories, centers<br />

and institutes. There are currently more than 4,500 externally<br />

sponsored projects throughout the university,<br />

with a total budget for sponsored<br />

projects of $1.060 billion during<br />

2008-09, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the SLAC<br />

National Linear Laboratory<br />

(SLAC).
