Activity

He is currently involved in research activities on aeroelastic modelling for aircraft and launch vehicles, nonlinear dynamical systems and nonlinear aeroelasticity, dynamic and structural optimization, identification of aeroelastic systems, integrated multi-disciplinary optimization and multi-objective optimization. He is author and co - author of several papers presented at international conferences and published on referred journals. For many of these journals as Journal of Sounds and Vibration, Journal of Fluids and Structures, AIAA Journal, AIAA Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, Computers and Structures, CEAS Aeronautical Journal, CEAS Space Journal, Journal of Aerospace Science and Technology, Journal of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, he lends function of referee.

His last 15-year experience on industrial R&D projects includes collaborations with AVIO S.p.A., AIRBUS D&S, and European Space Agency as principal investigatoror collaborator on research activities on launch vehicle aeroelastic analyses, visco-elastic finite-element modelling, and vibro-acoustic analysis of launch vehicles.
