Albert Cerrone

Albert Cerrone serves as Research Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame and Senior Research Fellow at UT Austin's Oden Institute. His work bridges coastal hydrodynamics and materials science through Digital Twin frameworks.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Civil Engineering, Cornell University (2014)
• BSCE in Civil Engineering, University of Notre Dame (2009)

Research focuses on two interconnected domains: (1) Coastal hydrodynamics where he develops probabilistic storm surge guidance systems using high-fidelity hydrodynamic modeling (STOFS-2D-Global) and transformer-based real-time correction methods; (2) Materials durability investigating both inorganic systems (additively manufactured metals via crystal plasticity modeling and fatigue testing) and organic systems (biofilm response to ultrasound for cystic fibrosis therapies). His Notre Dame Computational Hydraulics Laboratory collaborations with Joannes Westerink and Clint Dawson drive operational NOAA modeling improvements.

Publication trends reveal increasing integration of machine learning with hydrodynamic modeling for real-time forecasting, alongside growing biomedical applications of materials science in ultrasound-mediated therapies.
