Dr. David Bacci is part of Oxford Thermofluids Laboratory (University of Oxford), where he holds the position of Research Fellow in Thermofluids Dynamics and Acoustic. He is also a Visiting Research Fellow in Military Aircraft Design at Cranfield University
His research interests range from combat aircraft development (weapons bays aero-acoustic, combat performance evaluation, integration of aerodynamic design with radar and infrared signature requirements) to next-generation turbojets (acoustic and thermal analysis, thermal management, cooling).
He completed his PhD (2017) at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, focusing on the characterization of Transonic Aeroacoustics of Weapon Bays.
From 2009 to 2014, he maturated industrial experience working on UCAV design and military flight simulator development for Leonardo Company.
