Sauro Succi

Sauro Succi is a Researcher and Research Director at the Istituto dei Sistemi Complessi (CNR, Rome, Italy), concurrently serving as a Research Associate at Harvard University's Physics Department. He holds a visiting fellowship at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) within the School of Soft Matter Research. His expertise spans computational modeling of complex systems, with emphasis on fluid dynamics across scales—from quantum flows to biopolymer translocation and nanoscale phenomena.

Education: BSc in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Bologna, PhD in Plasma Physics from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (1987). He has held visiting positions at institutions including Yale, University of Paris, and Queen Mary College London.

Research focuses on lattice Boltzmann methods, multiscale simulations, and soft matter physics. Key projects include modeling biological nanopore translocation, carbon nanotube gas flows, and micro-emulsion rheology. His work bridges mesoscopic theory with practical applications in biophysics and nanotechnology.

Scientific recognition includes Fellow of the American Physical Society, Alexander von Humboldt Award, and Killam Award. His 200+ publications include seminal works on lattice Boltzmann equations and multiscale fluid dynamics.
