Ph. D. A. Ingenito in April 2007 teacher at the second edition of the Master Course in “Space Exploration And Development Systems (SEEDS)” by Politecnico di Torino; since 01/2007 teacher “Airbreathing propulsion” at the “Aerospace Engineering School” of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”; works on moon vision-high mobility lunar vehicle studies; trainer for the course of expert in aeronautical technologies; since 2003 gives some lectures at the Course “Combustion for propulsive systems” at “Aerospace Engineering School”, University of Rome “La Sapienza”; since 2005 work on Long-Term Advanced Propulsion concepts and Technologies (LAPCAT) , FP6 Priority 1.4 Aeronautic and Space, issued by European Community Sixth Framework Programme; since 01/2005 works within the GDR-E (European research group) at "Energy and Safety of Hydrogen"; 2003–2005: works in ``Studies on the preparation, atomisation and combustion of nano-aluminium – water slurry, a novel “green” propellant for space applications’’, Ref. Nr. 03-53-5203, issued by INTAS; 2002 – 2003: works in ``Chemical Microrocket: Scaling and Performance Enhancement'', SPC 02-4034, Contract Order Number FA8655-02-M034, issued by EOARD (European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, Department of the Air Force); 02/2002-06/2002: works in “CFD analysis of numerical thermo-fluid dynamics” for CSM at University of Rome “La Sapienza”. The main research areas consist of: advanced space propulsion field, particularly in airbreathing propulsion and micro-thrusters; chemical kinetics, particularly relative to kinetics of combustion in gas phase for aviation fuel (both at low and high pressure), hydrocarbon cracking/reforming analysis for light species on board productions, and examination of rocket performance, charged species recombination analysis; aluminum and water combustion for space application; CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), particularly focused on turbulent reactive flows; at present developing a SGS model for reactive supersonic flows;
