At the WCCM–ECCOMAS 2026 conference in Munich, a new research contribution explored the potential of combining high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics, advanced mesh morphing techniques, and artificial intelligence to accelerate the design and analysis of ship hulls. The paper, “A GPU-Accelerated AI-based Tools Framework for CFD-Based Ship Hull Design”, was presented within the Special Technology Session […]

After months of innovation, collaboration, and large-scale computation, the European PANDORA project has officially reached its conclusion and the results demonstrate the transformative power of combining High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, and advanced simulation. PANDORA addressed a critical challenge in vascular surgery: the need for patient-specific pre-operative planning for aortic graft procedures. Today, nearly 20% of these […]

We are pleased to announce the successful defense of the Master’s thesis “Interactive Aerodynamic Design Based on Physics-Informed Models and Immersive Visualization” by Mihai Alin Helciug at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, under the supervision of Prof. Marco E. Biancolini and co-supervision of Ing. Emanuele Di Meo. The research focused on the development of […]

For more than a decade, Prof. Marco Evangelos Biancolini from University of Rome Tor Vergata and Prof. Ignazio Maria Viola from University of Edinburgh have shared a common scientific vision: advancing nautical engineering through high-fidelity numerical simulation and translating cutting-edge research into practical tools for the marine industry. Leading, respectively, the rbfLAB and Voilab research […]

RBF Morph is pleased to congratulate Gabriele Bortolotto on earning his Engineering degree from the University of Rome Tor Vergata following the successful defense of his thesis, “Finite Element-Based Thermo-Structural Optimization of an Internal Combustion Engine Intake Manifold.” Conducted under the supervision of Prof. Marco Evangelos Biancolini, with co-supervisors Ing. Riccardo Serenella and Prof. Lorenzo […]

Published in the new Springer volume Digital Twins for Aerospace, edited by Marco Biancolini, Corrado Groth, and Ubaldo Cella, this contribution presents a workflow for aero-structural shape optimization based on high-fidelity Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis. The study focuses on the optimization of aircraft winglets by integrating aerodynamic simulations with structural flexibility effects. A dedicated FSI […]

RBF Morph is proud to support innovative research exploring the next generation of aircraft design through morphing wing technology. In collaboration with Kingston University and PhD researcher Muram Abbadi, this project investigates how flexible wing structures can adapt their shape across different flight conditions to optimise aerodynamic performance. The concept draws inspiration from the wing-warping […]
