Giovanni Colombo is Senior Technician at the Dept. of Aerospace Science & Technology, Politecnico di Milano. Since 1984, he was involved in research programs in aerospace science. Since 2007 he is Technical Head of Operations of the Space Propulsion Lab. His technical activity has mostly been devoted to run experimental rigs for the combustion of solid energetic materials: steady burn rate, temperature measure, ignition, extinction, non-steady burning, linear and nonlinear intrinsic burning stability, radiation assisted burning, pressure deflagration limits (PDL), frequency response function, etc. Recent publication: "Pre-burning Characterization of Nanosized Aluminum in Condensed Energetic Systems" in "Energetic Nanomaterials : Synthesis, Characterization, and Application" - ELSEVIER Ed.
