Gabriele Enea

Dr. Gabriele Enea is an assistant group leader of the Air Traffic Control and Weather Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The group develops advanced technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of air transportation.

Enea leads a range of programs studying the impact of weather on air traffic management (ATM) and the application of advanced weather models to advanced air mobility. He has extensive experience in analyzing the operations of the global air transportation system under the NextGen and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) frameworks. He developed models for advancing research in aircraft trajectory prediction (TP) and decision support tools based on the TP process.

Prior to joining Lincoln Laboratory, Enea worked at the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development at The MITRE Corporation and in industry with Engility Corporation. He won a NASA Group Achievement Award for his work on flight deck trajectory optimization systems. He received BS and MS degrees in aeronautical engineering and a PhD degree in transportation engineering from Università degli Studi di Palermo in Italy. He also received an MS degree in transportation engineering from Virginia Tech. Enea is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and is the Chair of the AIAA Aircraft Operations Technical Committee.
