Associate Professor, School of Aerospace Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome

Brief Biography :

Prof. Antonella Ingenito took her  PhD in Theoretical and Applied Science ( majoring Aerospace Propulsion and Combustion) in 2006 from the University of Rome La Sapienza under the supervision of Prof. Claudio bruno. Prof. Antonella Ingenito has been involved as PI and coordinator in sponsored research projects as well as in research-driven purely by personal interest. Sponsors have include two EU combustion and propulsion projects, LAPCAT (AST4-CT-2005-012282) (on supersonic combustion) and LAPCAT II (ACP7-GA-2008-211485) (on supersonic combustion and vehicle sizing), ESA, INTAS, Academic, Italian Ministry of Research (MIUR) and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) projects and funded by ASI/AVIO Spa, GAUSS Srl and ENEA Research Centre. These sponsored projects include modelling of turbulent combustion for hybrid rocket propulsion,  combustion in supersonic airstreams with both hydrogen and hydrocarbon reforming products; aluminium combustion; cracking and reforming of hydrocarbon reforming products; she was also involved in a project dealing with sizing of hypersonic vehicles, environmental issues, green propellant.
