Dr Sebastiano Fichera is a Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering and has a keen interest in linear and non-linear aeroelasticity and active control.
Dr Sebastiano Fichera teaches in two disciplines including:
Aerostructures: Introducing advanced aspects of structural analysis, relating the mathematical concepts to airframe designs and industrial practice.
Aircraft Design: Aerospace Design to enable the students to analyse, discuss and design the components of general aviation and large civil aircraft.
Areas of expertise include:
- Aeroelastic model design (featuring complex interactions of aero- and structural dynamics as well as actuation and sensing)
- Wind tunnel testing
- Active control in real time environments
- Morphing systems
Sebastiano is also a co-founder and technical director for Robotiz3d Ltd, a University of Liverpool spinoff that develops robotics solutions for the construction industry.
His main research collaborations is with Airbus (both across Spain and the UK).
