Michele Guida serves as a research fellow in the Department of Industrial Engineering of the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. His fellowship was extended for two years after a recent (September 2020) positive evaluation, and obtained a positive assessment after achieving a national scientific qualification as full professor. Michele earned an MS degree (Italian Laurea) in Aeronautical Engineering (2003) and a PhD in the same field (2009) in Impact Dynamics at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II and the Department of Industrial Engineering at the same university. He has participated in numerous research contracts in recent years. His team has sought to establish contacts and collaborations with universities and research centers universally recognized as centers of excellence in the study of issues of crashworthiness. Some of these collaborations include: CIRA and DLR, Italian and German Aerospace Center, University of Bath (UK), Airbus company (Filton, UK), Southern Illinois University (USA), SAAB (Linköping, Sweden), Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the University of California San Diego, NIAR (National Institute for Aviation Institute), University of Wichita, Kansas, and Delft University in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Computational Mechanics.
