Maria Grazia De Giorgi is Assistant Professor in the field of Aerospace Propulsion. In 2003, she took university doctorate in energy system and environment at University of Salento, Italy. She is the author of 110 papers, published in international journals or presented at international and national congresses and symposia. Her scientific activities were developed in the fields of unsteady and two-phase fluid-dynamic inside machines and apparatus, thermo and fluid dynamic applied to industrial processes simulation, cavitation in diesel control valve, industrial energy applications and related environmental subjects, energy recovery from biomass and industrial processes. In the field of the aerospace propulsion, the research activities were developed in the fields of the use of the cryogenic fuels, with particular regard to the cavitation and to LOx/CH4 spray and the development of prediction models for aeroengine performances.

Antonio Ficarella is Full Professor of Energy and Environment Systems at University of Salento (Italy), Dean of the Department of Engineering for Innovation at the University of Salento and Member of the Board of Directors of the Aerospace Technological Cluster, Inter-university Consortium of Apulian Region and Inter-university Consortium for Research on Sustainable Development.

Laura De Carlo is Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Salento. Her main research topics include the development of turboengine models and neural network approach for performance of engine prediction also in the presence of degradation.
