"Ignoranti quem portum petat nullus suus ventus est." A long time ago, the wise Seneca said that there is no favorable wind for those who do not know which port they are heading for. Some intend it as a metaphor for clear objectives in mind, while others are more oriented toward the actual, true scope of life. Wouldn't that be the same as the "PhD journey" for every researcher? On 18 December, Valerio Mosca successfully defended his PhD thesis on multidisciplinary design optimization of wings characterized by advanced technologies like boundary layer suction. The thesis focused on the development, improvement, and integration of aerodynamic and structural analysis tools applicable to the design of the new generation of aircraft. An incredible online and in-presence crowd was interested in his presentation, including people from Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Thank you to Prof. Ali Elham, the supervisor, and the other members of the commission, Prof. Jens Friedrichs and Prof. David Rival. A warm thank you to all the people of IFL - Institute of Aircraft Design & Lightweight Structures and SE²A - Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation Cluster of Excellence involved, from the preparation and the set-up of the room to the celebration afterward, rich in affection and esteem. 🚀 🛫 Stay tuned if you are interested in his dissertation or where this aircraft is heading 🙂; in the meanwhile, have a nice and peaceful Christmas break. #PhD #MDO #BoundaryLayerSuction #AircraftDesign #Sustainability
