Andrea Giuffré
Team Lead - Propulsion & Energy Storage at Elysian Aircraft
Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Giuffré is a propulsion and energy storage team lead who combines seven years of hands-on thermal engineering with academic rigor from a Ph.D. cum laude in Aerospace Engineering. At Elysian Aircraft he translates high-level strategy into technical roadmaps and leads the thermal management and battery efforts for a 90-seat electric aircraft, coordinating multi-institutional projects and public funding across Europe. His expertise spans propulsion and power-system modeling, high-speed turbomachinery, compact heat exchangers, optimization, and data-driven reduced-order modeling, with practical delivery including cooling-system commissioning and aviation-grade battery testing campaigns. A mentor and builder of high-performance teams, he blends research-led conceptual design with software and AI tools to accelerate system-level trade-offs—an approach rooted in his TU Delft research on vapor compression cycles and oil-free compressors. Notably, he serves as the main industry contact for large European programs (Clean Aviation, Horizon Europe Batt4EU, EIC), reflecting both technical ownership and stakeholder-facing program leadership.
