Rodolfo Azzara, Assistant Professor

Rodolfo Azzara is an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Torino. He gained his BSc in Aerospace Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino in October 2016, presenting a thesis on additive manufacturing for aerospace. Afterward, he obtained an MSc from the same university in December 2018, with a thesis on the analysis and design of landing gear, lander, and docking phases through multibody simulations. R. Azzara started working at Politecnico di Torino in January 2019 as a research fellow, under the supervision of Prof. Erasmo Carrera. He was involved in various international projects dealing with ground vibration tests, flight tests, and flutter clearance. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in March 2023, presenting a PhD Thesis on the nonlinear and linearized analysis of vibrations of loaded anisotropic beam, plate, and shell structures. His current research project is about the development of advanced theories for the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of aerospace structures.
