Starting in 2006, they worked as a Young Researcher at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA) for three years. In 2008, they briefly served as a Young Researcher at the University of Naples Federico II before joining Penn State University as a Visiting Research Scholar in 2009.
In 2010, Barbarino became a Research Officer at Swansea University, where they contributed to the "Optimisation of Multi-scale Structures with Applications to Morphing Aircraft" ERC project. During this time, they developed a multi-processor optimization code based on genetic algorithms and performed iterative aero-thermo-mechanical analysis.
Continuing their research journey, Barbarino became a Postdoctoral scholar at Penn State University from 2011 to 2012. Silvestro then moved on to work as a Research Associate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 2012 to 2013. Here, they led projects in the area of structural dynamics and vibration and was also involved in teaching as an adjunct faculty member.
From 2014 to 2017, Barbarino served as a Structural Engineer Sr at Sikorsky Aircraft, focusing on aerostructures. Silvestro then transitioned to Lockheed Martin, first as an LM CETO Tech Liaison at Penn State from 2017 to 2018, and later as a Data Scientist Analyst Stf from 2017 to 2018.
Most recently, Barbarino joined Joby Aviation in 2018 as the Data Analytics Lead - Data Scientist. The details about the duration and specific responsibilities of this role are not provided in the structured information.
Overall, Silvestro Barbarino has gained extensive experience as a researcher and engineer, with expertise in structural analysis, optimization, and data analytics.
