Pietro Stefano Salizzoni

Pietro Stefano Salizzoni serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. His academic affiliation spans both teaching and research roles within the School of Engineering, specializing in environmental fluid mechanics.

His research focuses on atmospheric dispersion of pollutants in industrial zones, employing combined numerical modeling and experimental approaches. Key areas include fluid mechanics simulations, urban canyon ventilation, and tree-vegetation effects on pollutant transport. His work bridges wind tunnel experiments with advanced computational techniques like Large-Eddy Simulation.

Recent publications demonstrate strong trends in urban climate resilience and industrial emission management, with significant emphasis on how vegetation modifies turbulent flows in built environments. The research portfolio spans environmental fluid mechanics, boundary-layer meteorology, and biomedical applications of fluid dynamics.

As a dedicated supervisor, he guides multiple PhD candidates in Civil and Environmental Engineering. His collaborative network includes researchers from Ecole Centrale de Lyon and international institutions, reflecting the global relevance of his work on urban air quality.
