Prof. Mastroddi Franco is a Full Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMA) of Sapienza University of Rome, affiliated with the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering. His expertise spans aerospace engineering, aeroelasticity, and multidisciplinary design optimization. He contributes to training programs such as the 2nd-level Master's in 'Satellites and Orbiting Platforms' and 'Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Sources'. His research focuses on fluid-structure interactions, sloshing dynamics in aircraft tanks, and sustainable aircraft design. He has led studies on green aviation technologies, launch vehicle aerodynamics, and numerical modeling techniques like Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Research Interests: Aeroelastic Stability and Response Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft Systems Neural Network Applications in Fluid Dynamics Green Energy Integration in Aviation Reduced-Order Modeling for Complex Systems Publications highlight contributions to sloshing dynamics, hybrid aircraft design, and computational methods for hypersonic systems. Awards: None explicitly mentioned. Grants and advisory roles include participation in the 'Premio Liviu Librescu' thesis award committee (2010). He collaborates on projects involving structural damping models and multi-objective optimization for aerospace systems.
