PhD Networking: Advanced Course on Fluid-Structure Interaction in Bioinspired Systems

The PhD Program in Aerospace Engineering is proud to highlight the international contributions of our research faculty. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Óscar Flores, a prominent researcher within our Aerospace Engineering group, will be lecturing at the upcoming CISM Advanced Course in Udine, Italy.

Key Details About the Course:

This first-edition course explores the frontier where unsteady aerodynamics meets biological design. For our PhD students and supervisors, this represents a unique opportunity to delve into the modeling of how vortices interact with flexible structures and how these biological strategies can be translated into engineering innovation.

  • Dates: April 20-24, 2026.
  • Location: Udine, Italy (CISM Headquarters) + Online modality available.
  • Key Topics: Unsteady aerodynamics, coupled flow-structure systems, robotics, and biomechanics.
  • Lecturers: A distinguished panel from University of Birmingham, Politecnico di Bari, UC3M, TU Wien, CNRS/ESPCI Paris and EPFL.

Why Participate?

This course is specifically designed for graduate students and early-stage researchers. Beyond the technical sessions, the program features poster sessions designed to spark cross-disciplinary communication and provide a platform for our PhD students to showcase their current research to an international audience.

Applications are now open. Additionally, CISM offers a limited number of subsidized accommodations for on-site participants at a rate of 35 euros per night.

Full details and the application process are available at the CISM Course Webpage.
