From Students to Students: a hands-on aeroelastic wind turbine laboratory platform
In recent years, courses on wind turbine modeling and control have been offered to students in the Master’s programs in Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering. These courses provide a theoretical foundation in aeroelastic modeling, dynamics, and control of wind energy systems. The goal of this thesis is to develop a practical framework that enables future

Multi-Objective Control Synthesis for Floating Wind Turbines
We are looking for a motivated and passionate student to contribute to our research in the field of wind energy and to work on a topic with strong scientific and industrial relevance. Floating wind turbines are complex systems, in which aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, structural dynamics, and control systems are strongly coupled. This multi-physics interaction makes the

Evaluation of athlete effort during competitive bike activities
In the wind gallery of Politecnico di Milano, competitive athletes perform aerodynamic evaluations to improve their performances. The goal is to define the better position and/or equipment to be as competitive as possible from an aerodynamic point of view. Nothing is ever said, however, about the possible differences in terms of the effort of the
