Alfredo Pinelli

Professor Alfredo Pinelli holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (1994) and has held academic positions at multiple institutions. He is currently Professor of Fluid Simulation at City, University of London (2013–present) and previously served as Associate Professor at Complutense University of Madrid (2004–2013), Head of the Numerical Simulation Unit at CIEMAT (2000–2013), and Associate Professor at Carlos III University of Madrid (1999–2004).

• BSc in Aeronautical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano (1988)
• Master in Fluid Mechanics, Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (1989)
• PhD in Applied Mathematics, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (1994)

His research focuses on Direct numerical simulations, Computational fluid dynamics, Immersed-boundary methods, and Fluid structure interaction. Recent work explores Deep reinforcement learning for turbulent flow control and High performance computing applications in fluid mechanics. Publications emphasize Flow dynamics, Aerodynamics, and Environmental flows, with a particular interest in Turbulent flow regimes and Flow control techniques.

Key articles demonstrate expertise in Wall-bounded turbulent flows, Canopy flow analysis, and Lattice Boltzmann methods. His scientific awards include the Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship, and he has participated in numerous national and European research projects with international collaborators in Canada, Japan, and the US.
