Dr. Charles Luzzato

• Manager for the Aero-Acoustics field team in Munich (5 FTE) • Aeroacoustic, aerodynamic and thermodynamic projects in Western and Central Europe, and Asia • Management of Research and Developement aeroacoustics projects with leading European car manufacturers • Tasked with driving deployment of new applications at existing aeroacoustic clients

Responsible for windnoise projects for the automotive industry in the DACH region, Italy, and Scandinavia.

Aerodynamic, Thermodynamic and Acoustic analysis of industrial and product design problems for the automotive and aerospace sectors.

Development of OSCILOS, the open source combustion instability low order simulator

Supervised and graded Matlab tutorials, and supervised third year Simulink control experiments. Designed, demonstrated and graded the structural dynamics experiment.

Code Safari is an in-house high order finite difference CFD code. My validation of the code included double Mach reflections, Sod chock tubes, and cylinder oscillation configurations. I also implemented mobile mesh management in 3D, Transpiration boundary conditions and dual time stepping | Supervisors: Dr. Philippe Lafon, Dr. Allan Bonnet.

Modelling of combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines (thermodynamics, acoustics, and fluid flow). Application of active adaptive control to combustion instabilities.
