Filippo Giovanni Colombo is a doctoral student at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics (ISM) with a focus on hypersonic and multiphase flows. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering from the Politecnico di Milano. For his master's thesis at the ISM, he worked on countercurrent jet injection for hypersonic flows. He is currently investigating, both numerically and experimentally, the injection of nanoparticles as a means of reducing heat flux at the surface of hypersonic vehicles.
