Dr. Cristina Riso joined the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor in January 2022. Her research group investigates dynamic aeroelastic phenomena in next-generation aerospace vehicles using novel computational models and analysis methods. Current research efforts focus on both advancing the fundamental understanding of new fixed-wing and vertical lift configurations and supporting their design.

Dr. Riso came to Georgia Tech from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. At Michigan, she was a Research Fellow in the Airbus-Michigan Center for Aero-Servo-Elasticity of Very Flexible Aircraft and the Active Aeroelasticity and Structures Research Laboratory. Dr. Riso holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Sapienza University of Rome. She is a member of the AIAA Structural Dynamics Technical Committee, VFS Dynamics Technical Committee, and AIAA Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop Large Deflection Working Group.
