Guardone Alberto Matteo Attilio

Supervisor for Fellowship
ESR 1: Simulation and prevention of ice formation and shedding on rotorcraft

Degree in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 1998 with a thesis title “Non classical gasdynamics: thermodynamic modelling and numerical simulation of multidimensional flows of BZT fluids”. Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2002 with a thesis title “New results on computational methods for compressible flows on unstructured grids”. As a post-doctoral researcher he worked like a senior research at the Energy Technology Section, Process & Energy Department at Delft University of Technology and subsequently at the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano. From 2007 he was Assistant Professor in Fluid Mechanics at the same University in Milano and now he is full professor of Fluid Mechanics.

ERC grantee, with long tradition of PhD supervision included one co-supervision with TUD. His research interests include compressible fluid dynamics of real fluids, including two-phase flows, and helicopter aerodynamics, with particular reference to the simulation of dynamic stall.

Membership of scientific committees: Head of the Workgroup on Fluid dynamics of dense and supercritical vapors, ORC Power Systems Committee, International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

He is strongly committed to disseminating the results of his research. During the last ten years, he published 32 articles on international peer-reviewed journals and 34 papers in proceeding of international conferences.

According to the SCOPUS database (as of February 2013), his work attracted 290 citations by 144 different documents and his h-index is 12.
