Luca De Beni
Current Position: R&D Engineer at Apple
Luca's research involved learning about flow-structure interactions of aeroelastic wings with distributed bleed active flow control. The fundamental mechanisms were captured by constitutive, multi-scale models that included bleed-induced parameters computed through a reduced order modeling (ROM) approach. He then designed, manufactured, and tested adaptive wing prototypes with embedded bleed ports and used the developed ROMs to quantify the effects of bleed.
