Optimad Engineering s.r.l. originated from an entrepreneurial idea that involves experts in the fluid dynamics and aerospace engineering fields at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy, at the Université Bordeaux 1 in France and at University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK).
These experts can boast more than twenty years of research activities in the field of numerical fluid dynamics, aerospace propulsion and optimization techniques. In the past they worked, and are still working, with research centres, industry and universities (Boeing, Enel, Airbus, Varian, Munters, University of Southampton, NASA-GE, University of Bristol, EPFL, Technische Universitat in Munich, CIRA, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, ASI, INRIA, National Academy of Sciences Ukraine, The Royal Society, Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, Ècole Centrale de Lyon, Thales Alenia Space, Fiat AVIO etc.) and they have participated in European projects of relevant importance (STREP Vortex Cell 2050 FP6, ALEF - Aerodynamic loads estimation at extremes of the flight envelope FP7, FFAST - Future fast aeroelastic simulation technologies FP7).
