Fernando Camelli

Fernando Camelli is an Associate Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at George Mason University, holding dual roles as Instructional Faculty and Faculty. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), urban environmental modeling, and high-performance computing. He specializes in simulating complex fluid flows in urban environments, subway systems, and industrial applications, with particular emphasis on turbulence modeling, fluid-structure interaction, and GPU-accelerated algorithms.

Key research areas include:

• CFD for urban airflow and contamination dispersion
• Meshless and immersed boundary methods
• Integration of geographic information systems (GIS) with CFD
• Large-scale simulations using parallel computing

His work addresses practical challenges such as subway ventilation optimization, emergency contaminant dispersion prediction, and urban infrastructure design. Recent studies emphasize scalability improvements for fluid-structure interaction simulations and GPU-based code modernization.
