Erasmo Carrera is Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at
Politecnico di Torino. He serves as President of the Italian
Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics, A.I.D.A.A., a member of
the Accademia delle Scienze di Torino, the International Academy of
Astronautics, and the Académie de l’Air et de l’Espace. He is the
President of the Board of Directors of the Space It Up Company,
leading the most important homonymous space project funded by the
Agenzia Spaziale Italiana.
He has been the recipient of the FIS 3 project FEM 2.0. He has been
a visiting professor at the University of Stuttgart, Virginia Tech,
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Tambov University, Supmeca
and Ensam, Ning Bo University, and Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd
University. Dr. Carrera has been responsible for various research
contracts granted by public and private national and international
institutions, including the European Community, European Space
Agency, Thales Alenia Space, and Embraer. He is the founder and
Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Aircraft and Spacecraft Science,
Editor-in-Chief of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures,
and Section Editor of Journal of Sound and Vibration.
He has introduced the Unified Formulation, or CUF (Carrera Unified
Formulation), as a tool to establish a new framework to develop
theories of beams, plates, and shells for metallic and composite
multilayered structures. CUF has been applied to meshless, finite
element methods to classical and mixed variational frameworks as
well as to linear and nonlinear problems. In particular, CUF has
originated the so-called NDK-FE, Node Dependent Kinematics version
of Finite Elements. He has been an author and co-author of about 800
papers on the above topics. Carrera has been a recipient of various
‘best paper awards’ and of the ‘JN Reddy Medal’.
He has been awarded as an Honorary Qiushi Professor at Zhejiang
University. Professor Carrera has been a Highly Cited Researcher
(Top 100 Scientist) by Thomson Reuters in the two Sections:
Engineering and Materials. He was confirmed HiCI in 2015 in the
Section of Engineering. The only aerospace Engineering worldwide.
Due to his scientific accomplishments, Professor Carrera has been
awarded by the President of the Italian Republic, as ‘Honorary
Commendatore’.
He has been appointed Loc-Chair of IAC 2024 (Milan) and ICAS 2024
(Florence), AIAA CEAS Aeroacoustics 2024 (Rome), and General Chair
of SSDM, ASME 2025 (Long Beach, CA), Chair of CEAS-AIDAA 2025
(Torino), Loc Chair of AIAA- AIDAA Hypersonic 2026 (Naples), and
Chair of ICMAMS 5th, 2026 (Toulouse).
Due to its service to AIDAA, he has been the recipient of the AIDAA
Excellence Award 2025.
