Marco Marini - WP3 Leader
Dr. Marco Marini got his Laurea in Aeronautical Engineering in 1990 and his Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 1994, both at University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Employed at CIRA in September 1994 in the Aerothermodynamics Lab., since 2009 he was Head of Applications and Experimentation Lab. in Aerospace Propulsion and Reacting Flows Unit. Since 2010 he was Head of Combustion Unit in Propulsion Division; and since 2015 to October 2020 he belonged to the Space Technology Integration Unit. Since November 2020 he is Head of Access to Space and High-Speed Systems in the Technology Integration and System Engineering unit. He was technical coordinator and project engineer/project manager of some national projects and CIRA’s contributions to some international research projects in the fields of aerothermodynamics and high-speed propulsion. He participated to ESA Projects, EU Projects, Industry Projects and National Projects. He is author or co-author of about 150 publications (archive journals, conference papers, invited lectures, edited books) and reviewer of some international journals.

Guido Saccone - WP4 CIRA PoC
Dr. Guido Saccone achieved his degree in Chemical Engineering in 2004, and the Ph.D. in Materials and Structural Engineering in 2008, both at University of Naples “Federico II”. After a post-doc research fellowship at CIRA (2009-2011) on the topic of UHTC based thermo-structures, in 2012 he was employed by CIRA in the Combustion Unit of Propulsion Division, working mainly on chemical kinetic modelling of combustion and turbulence-chemistry interactions, for methane/oxygen LRE and hydrogen/air scramjets. From 2015 up to 2020 he belonged to Propulsion Unit and since November 2020 he is in force at Propulsion and Exploration Technologies Unit. He was involved in numerous national and European research projects, providing technical contributions in chemistry and materials engineering aspects. He is author or co-author of several publications, among conferences, journal papers and edited chapters and books. Moreover, he is member of the Italian Section of the Combustion Institute and of the scientific committee of International Conferences on Combustion Science and Processes (CSP).
