Notizie
The core of my research activity is performed at the Flight Mechanics Lab "Michele D. Sirinian" of the School of Aerospace Engineering, Via Salaria 851, 00138, Roma (https://web.uniroma1.it/scuolaingegneriaaerospaziale/flight-mechanics-lab).
Current projects include, but are not limited to
(i) design and implementation of an adaptive control for the time optimal LEO-MEO transfer of a 6U CubeSat
(ii) implementation and experimental testing of an ADCS based o magnetoruqers and reaction wheels (3-axis of pyramid configuration)
(iii) adaptive optimal guidance/control based on MDP
(iv) design of maximum range trajectories for hypersonic vehicles
Students interested in developing their Final Thesis or Stage can send me an email.
I teach Optimal Control and Game Theory in Flight Mechanics (IND-IND/03 ; 6 CFU) and co-teach Aerodynamics of Continuous and Rarefied Flows (ING-IND/06 ; 3/6 CFU) for the Special Master of Aerospace Engineering, provided by the School of Aerospace Engineering.

Orari di ricevimento
Tuesday and Thursday from 3pm to 5pm at the Flight Mechanics Lab "Michele D. Sirinian", School of Aerospace Engineering, Via Salaria 851, Rome.
The students can send an email to fix a meeting on a different day/time.
