Meet the Speaker: A Hydrogen Fuel Visionary Bridging Research and Industry
Dr. Baiguini is a chemical engineer at Politecnico di Milano and a recent PhD graduate from Mines Paris – PSL, where his thesis tackled the modeling of cryogenic liquids in small-scale tanks. His academic expertise now fuels real-world innovation at Design Tech Centre, where he leads hydrogen R&D initiatives critical to the future of sustainable aviation.
The EICLHAIR Project, under his direction, is building advanced liquid hydrogen storage and distribution systems optimized for aerospace applications. This webinar will offer a firsthand look at the engineering behind these systems, including insights on simulation, thermodynamics, and aircraft integration challenges.
Why the EICLHAIR Project Is a Big Deal
Hydrogen aviation is on the rise, but storing and delivering cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH₂) safely and efficiently remains one of its biggest hurdles. The EICLHAIR Project is tackling this challenge head-on by:
Designing lightweight, insulated LH2 tanks tailored for aircraft.
Developing complete fuel system architectures compatible with flight dynamics.
Applying advanced modeling tools to predict system behavior under real-world conditions.
Bridging academic theory and industrial design for rapid prototyping and testing.
With growing global investment in hydrogen aviation, including from major aircraft manufacturers and startups, Dr. Baiguini’s work is highly relevant to anyone involved in future flight.

FAQ – Understanding LH2 and Hydrogen Aviation
What is LH2?
LH2 stands for liquid hydrogen, a form of hydrogen cooled to –253°C, making it dense enough for efficient storage in aircraft.
Why is LH2 important for aviation?
It's cleaner than jet fuel and has a higher energy content per kilogram, making it a strong candidate for zero-emission flight.
What does an LH2 tank do in an aircraft?
It safely stores the hydrogen in its liquid state and connects to a fuel system that delivers it to engines or fuel cells.
What makes designing LH2 tanks so complex?
The tanks must handle extreme cold, pressure changes, weight limits, and safety requirements in flight.
What is the EICLHAIR Project?
A European project led by Design Tech Centre to develop LH2 tank and fuel systems specifically for aviation.
Why does hydrogen need to be cryogenic?
Hydrogen gas is very light. To carry enough fuel for long-distance flight, it must be stored as a liquid to save space.
How does the fuel system work with LH2?
It includes insulated piping, pumps, valves, and regulators to maintain temperature and safely deliver hydrogen.
Who is Nicolò Baiguini?
A chemical engineer and PhD with expertise in cryogenic fluid modeling, now leading hydrogen systems development at DTC.
What’s special about this webinar?
It connects high-level academic research to real-world aerospace systems with one of the top minds working in LH2 today.
