Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAgostino De Marco is an Associate Professor of Flight Mechanics at the University of Naples Federico II with over two decades of academic and research experience spanning aircraft flight dynamics, flight testing, and applied aerodynamics. He holds a PhD in Naval Engineering with a strong specialization in computational fluid dynamics and scientific computing, and has translated that expertise into multidisciplinary work across aeronautical and naval problems. A proficient software engineer and programmer, he is fluent in languages from Fortran and C++ to Python and Java, and applies rigorous software engineering and object-oriented design to scientific code and simulation tooling. He contributes to open-source flight dynamics tooling—recently improving JSBSim documentation and interactive Jupyter examples—to lower the barrier for new users of complex flight-simulation libraries. Based in Naples, he combines hands-on CFD and grid generation experience with practical skills in CAD, web development and SCM workflows, reflecting a rare blend of theory, coding, and experimental practice. Colleagues value him for continuous-learning ethos and for making sophisticated simulation technologies accessible to students and collaborators.
