Carlos A. Felippa

Carlos A. Felippa is a professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado. His research at Colorado concerns aerospace structures and structural analysis, with special interests in coupled field problems: elastoacoustics, aeroelasticity, control-structure interaction, thermomechanics and electrothermomechanics.

Biography Felippa studied civil engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Ing. Civ. 1963) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.S. 1964 and Ph.D. 1966). After working at Boeing and Lockheed, he took a position at the University of Colorado in 1986, where from 1989 to 1991 he directed the Center for Space Structures and Controls.
