Luigi Cutrone received his Laurea in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Turbomachinery at the Politecnico di Bari, in 2004 and 2009, respectively. Since 2005, he has been employed at CIRA and is currently a senior researcher at the CIRA Aerothermodynamics unit. He is the main CIRA in-house CFDs solver developer for aero-thermodynamics, and his research interests include the hypersonic transition, plasma physics, and plasma wind tunnel testing. He has been involved in several international research projects funded by the European Union (LAPCAT, LAPCAT II, PHYS4ENTRY, EXAFLY-INT, and STRATOFLY), involving European universities and research and industrial partners. He is the author or co-author of about 40 publications and a reviewer of several international journals.
