Full profile: Francesco holds a PhD in Fluid Dynamics from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy). Afterwards, he moved to Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands) where he worked first as PostDoc and later as Assistant Professor. Since May 2023, he is Full Professor in Fluid Dynamics at Politecnico di Torino (Italy).
Francesco works with his team on several topics related to aeroacoustics ranging from wind turbine to propeller noise (both for drone and aircraft applications) prediction and reduction, conventional and novel acoustic liners flow physics, and noise propagation in complex scenario with both experimental and numerical methods.
His work has been supported by the ERC Starting Grant and the Aeroacoustics Research Consortium. Francesco is working on several national and international projects ranging from research to education. Francesco is co-funder of Mutech, a startup company developing noise reduction technologies for wind turbines. Francesco was board member of the Delft Young Academy in 2022.
