Aerospace Engineering UC3M

🎉We are excited to share that Professor Andrea Ianiro, member of our department, has been awarded with a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for his innovative research project, which aims to develop revolutionary sensors to estimate turbulent flow. This grant, part of the European Research Council (ERC) Horizon Europe programme, will enable Andrea to push the boundaries of aerospace engineering and sustainability. His project, titled SPANDRELS, addresses a major challenge: accurately predicting and controlling turbulent flows. Turbulence is a key factor affecting the aerodynamics of transportation systems, such as airplanes and cars, influencing both fuel efficiency and emissions. Andrea's goal is to create highly efficient sensors inspired by nature, specifically, the sensors found in insect wings, which can detect even the smallest changes in airflow. Andrea’s project has the potential to revolutionize the way we design transportation systems, making them more efficient and environmentally friendly. The sensors will help the design of control systems to optimize aerodynamic performance, reduce energy consumption and minimize emissions, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Congratulations to Ignacio Jurado too, from the Department of Social Sciences at UC3M, who has also received another ERC Consolidator Grant for his project CONSENT. At Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Aerospace Engineering UC3M department, we are committed to supporting cutting-edge research that has a global impact. Andrea's work exemplifies our dedication to excellence and innovation in science and engineering. We look forward to the exciting developments this research will bring over the next five years! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dSzyWajJ #ERCGrants #ResearchExcellence #Innovation #Sustainability #AerospaceEngineering #UC3M #FutureOfTransport #ERCCoG

The Aerospace Engineering Department of UC3M took part in the Intercampus UC3M Run, competing in both the 5K and 10K categories! This year, our steps carried even more meaning, as the event supported research projects on ALS. Warm congratulations to our colleagues who represented our department with energy and enthusiasm!

🎉We are thrilled to share with all of you the recent achievement of our Visiting Professor Dr. Ceren Gürkan She has been awarded a highly competitive Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, a prestigious posdoctoral opportunity funded by the European Commission , which enables her to develop the Project WINHDG, "High fidelity and cost-effective numerical solver for the aerodynamic simulation of floating offshore wind turbines". Through it, she will grow a high-fidelity and cost-effective numerical flow solver for the aerodynamic simulation of floating offshore wind turbines using advanced discretization techniques. Her project strives to make a meaningful impact on the renewable energy sector, contributing to a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. 👏Congratulations, Ceren! We are really excited to hear about the development of WINHDG. #grant #fellowship #postdoctoral #MSCA #aerodynamic #windturbines #achievement Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
