Silvia Ferrari is an American aerospace engineer. She is John Brancaccio Professor at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University.[2]

Education

Ferrari received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering from Princeton University.[3]

Research and career

Ferrari's research is primarily based on multi-scale adaptive sensor systems.[4] Her research also includes online adaptive critic flight control[5], and simulations for the beech bonanza fly-by-wire test-bed.[6]

Ferrari is currently the director of the laboratory for intelligent systems and controls.[7] Prior to that, she was an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Duke University.[8] She is the founder and director of NSF Integrative Graduate Education and research trainee-ship.[9]

Awards

Ferrari was the recipient of the 2005 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by the National Science Foundation.[2] Additional awards include the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award[10], international crime analysis association research award[11], and National Science Foundation Career award.[12] She is a senior member of the IEEE and a past American Society of Mechanical Engineer (ASME) Graduate Teaching Fellow.[13]
