Biography
Ernesto Novillo has a strong academic background and field experience in power
plants, cement industry, oil fields and naval ship propulsion, where vibration
problems are significant. A former Naval officer, he earned two university engineering
degrees: Electrical-Electronics (Summa Cum Laude) and Mechanical.
Working for General Electric, he delivered large energy engineering projects to
many countries in Asia, Europe, and America throughout his long professional
career. He was a university professor of Automatic Control Systems and Oil
Engineering. His experience encompasses living in several countries, where he
assumed important management positions. He has published books about relativity
science and turbine engineering. In this book, Ernesto combines vibration
theory with his valuable experience in land and marine machinery and automatic
control systems.
