Alessandro Orchini

Alessandro Orchini is a Visiting Professor at the Chair of Nonlinear Thermo-Fluid Mechanics, part of the Technical University of Berlin's Faculty V - Transportation and Mechanical Systems. His affiliation with TU Berlin began in 2022, where he leads research into complex physical processes involving acoustic waves, combustion dynamics, and flow fields. He holds a PhD in Engineering from the University of Cambridge (2016) and an MSc in Theoretical Physics from the University of Genoa (2012).

• 2022: Guest Professor at TU Berlin
• 2019: Principal Investigator on thermoacoustics of can-annular combustors
• 2017: Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow in Germany
• 2017: Postdoctoral Researcher at Imperial College London

Research Focus: Orchini's work combines experimental data and numerical simulations to develop reduced-order models for nonlinear systems. Tools include finite element calculations, adjoint-based perturbation theory, control theory, and system identification methods. These models aim to optimize control strategies for thermo-fluid phenomena.

His research emphasizes interdisciplinary applications of fluid mechanics and acoustics, particularly in combustion systems and propulsion technologies. No specific scientific awards are listed in the provided materials.
