Biography
Davide Ferretto is Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS). He received the Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2020 with a dissertation entitled “Innovative Model-Based Systems Engineering approach for the design of hypersonic transportation systems”. His research activities include the design of aerospace systems for conventional and innovative aircraft, as well as the systems engineering methods and tools. He is currently contributing to the activities of different European projects (H2020 / HE) focused on topics like sustainable aviation, as well as digital transformation in aviation design, particularly dealing with innovative aircraft configurations conceived for passengers transportation (eVTOL, subsonic, supersonic, suborbital). He is involved in the activities of the Digital Pioneering sub-committee of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS), regarding novel modes of transport, as well as in the work carried out by HyTASP and Systems Engineering technical committees of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He is member of the Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
