Giuseppe Gibertini was born in Modena, Italy, in 1960. In 1987
he received the Master degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the
Politecnico di Milano. In 1988 he gor the Post-Graduate Diploma in
Fluid Dynamics at Von Karman Institute (Belgium). In 1992 he
received the Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering at the Politecnico of
Milano. Then he worked as consultant in the field of Fluid Dynamics
and collaborated with Politecnico in teaching activity and in the
development of the new Large Wind Tunnel. In 2001 he became
Assistant Professor in Fluid Dynamics at the Department of
Aerospace Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano.
His research activity is mainly addressed to the field of
unsteady aerodynamics, from basic study on bluff body turbulent
wakes to aerospace research on helicopter aerodynamics.. Presently,
the main research focuses are the retreating blade dynamic stall
and the rotor-wing interference in tiltrotor aircraft. The
experimental research activity has involved also the developmente
of measurement techniques. Beside these main subjects Gibertini is
also involved in studies on Sport Aerodynamics.
He is the scientific responsible of the Aerodynamic Laboratory
of Aerospace Department and is expert member of CIRIVE (Reseach
Centre for Wind Engineering) that manages the Large Wind Tunnel of
Politecnico. He was responsible of the experimental activity of his
department in the European project GOAHEAD and NICETRIP and is
presently the coordinator of the project GUM (ClaeanSky - GRC1)
about active flap on rotor blades.
He teached Experimental Fluid Dynamics for several years and
is now teaching Rotorcraft Aerodynamics for the Master Degree in
Aeronautical Engineering. Thus he is member of the School of
Industrial Engineering of Politecnico di Milano.
He is co-author of more than 40 papers published in journals
and conferences proceedings.
