Biography
Francesco Avallone is Full Professor in Fluid Dynamics at the Politecnico di Torino since May 2023. Previously, he was Tenured Assistant Professor at the at Delft University of Technology, where he did also a two-years PostDoc. He received both his MSc and PhD degrees from the University of Naples Federico II. His PhD focused on non-intrusive techniques for boundary layer transition in hypersonic flows. Since 2015 he works in the field of Aeroacoustics. Ha has been awarded the ERC StG in 2022 to study the flow acoustic interaction over an acoustic liner. He has worked in several international and national project and has been author and co-authors of more than 100 journal publications and 100 conference papers. He has been supervisor of more than 10 PhD candidates, 6 of them already obtained the PhD. His research interests are airfoil self-noise, rotor noise, acoustic liners, HVAC and fan noise. He is interested in both the physical understanding of the noise generation mechanisms and the development of novel noise reduction technologies. For his research he uses both experimental and computational techniques.
