Biography
Rauno Cavallaro obtained his MSc in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Pisa in 2009. He worked from July 2009 and August 2010 in Bauhaus Luftfahrt, a German research institute financed by the Bavarian government and several aeronautical industries, where he was in charge of the design of unconventional configurations.
In August 2010 Dr. Cavallaro moved to San Diego to pursue his doctoral degree in the prestigious joint doctoral program bewteen San Diego State University (SDSU) and University of California San Diego (UCSD). Under guidance of his mentors, Prof. Lucaino Demasi (SDSU) and Prof. David Benson (UCSD) his research focused on the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of Joined Wings. During his PhD Dr. Cavallaro gained several prestigious awards, such as the Collier Research HyperSizer/AIAA Structures Best Paper Award. Moreover he was granted several scholarship, e.g., the Inamori Fellowship.
After earning his Doctoral Degree Dr. Cavallaro joined in April 2015 Prof. Daniella Raveh’s group at the Technion University. He worked on reduced-order models for nonlinear aeroelastic problems. In February 2016 Dr. Rauno Cavallaro joined Universidad Carlos III de Madrid as a “Profesor Visitante”. His research focuses on innovative aircraft design, hybrid/electric aircraft, multidisciplinary design and optimization and aeroelasticity.
