Sara Muggiasca is Associate Professor of Applied Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. Her scientific activity was mainly developed in the areas of wind engineering and wind energy. Wind engineering related projects refer more specifically to experimental and numerical studies on cable dynamics, fluid-structure interaction of civil structures and sails aerodynamics. Wind energy-related projects concern experimental studies on horizontal axis wind turbines, experimental activities on wake characterization of vertical axis wind turbines and wind tunnel studies on Flettner rotors for commercial ship propulsion
She is currently the Scientific Director of GVPM, Politecnico di Milano Wind Tunnel.
