معرفی
Stefano Ghelardi is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Genoa's Department of Naval, Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering (DITEN). His teaching focuses on specialized courses in yacht design, including 'YACHT RIGGING' for the Master's Degree program in Yacht Design during the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic years.
His research expertise centers on naval engineering and advanced marine systems, with specific interests in:
- Structural dynamics of sailing yacht components
- Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling
- Composite material applications in marine structures
- Rigging system optimization
- Performance analysis of high-performance appendages
Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on computational and experimental approaches to yacht engineering, with recurring themes of mast design optimization, fluid dynamics simulations, and structural integrity assessments under dynamic loads. Recent work emphasizes carbon-fiber composites and advanced FSI validation techniques.
