Dr. Mattia Barbarino (Male) is Deputy Head of the Acoustics & Pollutant Emissions Unit at the Italian Aerospace Research Center (CIRA). He earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2006, with a thesis on CFD and FEM analysis of a low-NOx aeronautical combustor, and completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Systems Engineering in 2013, focusing on aeroacoustic methods for designing low-noise technologies. Since joining CIRA in 2007, he has specialized in aero-vibro-acoustics, computational aeroacoustics (CAA), and the development of numerical simulation tools. His research integrates both theoretical modeling and experimental validation to advance noise prediction and control strategies in aerospace systems. A key focus of his work is the mitigation of aircraft noise to reduce environmental impact and improve passenger comfort. He has led and contributed to numerous national and EU-funded projects (e.g. Clean Sky, Clean Aviation, and Horizon programmes) and played a key role in international research collaborations such as GARTEUR. He actively participates in international committees on aircraft noise and has served as Guest Editor for Special Issues of the journal Applied Sciences, focusing on emerging technologies in aeroacoustics and sustainable aviation. He is also a three-time recipient of the Best Paper Award from the EREA (Association of European Research Establishments in Aeronautics), for his excellence and the impact of his scientific contributions.
