Giuseppe Pezzella is an Italian aerospace engineer specializing in the aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics of atmospheric re-entry and hypersonic flight vehicles. He is a lecturer in aircraft aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics at the Department of Engineering of the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", and was previously a senior research engineer at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA).
Biography
Pezzella earned a master's degree in aerospace engineering in 1999 and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering in 2004, both at the University of Naples "Federico II" in Italy.
Before his academic appointment, he worked as a senior research engineer at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA), where he specialized in hypersonic aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics. He later joined the Department of Engineering of the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Caserta as a lecturer in aircraft aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics.
Work
Pezzella's research addresses the configuration design, aerodynamics, and aerothermodynamics of vehicles that fly at hypersonic speeds or return from space through a planetary atmosphere. His work applies computational fluid dynamics to the aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic performance analysis of reusable and unmanned re-entry vehicles, spacecraft returning from low Earth orbit, launcher configurations, and planetary entry vehicles for Mars exploration.
He has taken part in numerous re-entry and hypersonic vehicle design programs, including European Space Agency projects such as EXPERT, FLPP, HIGH-LIFT, RASTAS-SPEAR, SCRAMSPACE, LAPCAT-II, IXV, HEXAFLY, and HEXAFLY-INT, as well as the Italian national PRO.R.A. USV program.
