Dr. Federico Toschi

Biography

Federico Toschi is a full professor in the departments of Applied Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research addresses emerging complexity and challenging multi-scale problems at the crossroads of statistical physics, fluid mechanics, soft condensed matter, and biophysics. Toschi's work investigates how small-scale interactions and forces lead to large-scale complexity and chaos, employing experimental, numerical, and theoretical methods. His areas of expertise include fluid dynamics, turbulence, Lagrangian turbulence, thermal convection, complex fluids, soft condensed matter, active matter, crowd dynamics, and scientific computing, particularly through Lattice Boltzmann methods. He is actively involved in the 4TU Centre of Excellence for Multiscale Phenomena, the JMBC Burgerscentrum for fluid dynamics, and the Eindhoven Multiscale Institute. Toschi also teaches courses on fluid mechanics, mathematical and computational physics, and dynamical systems to both BSc and MSc students. He has chaired the COST Action “Particles in Turbulence” and “Flowing Matter,” and has founded the start-up Flow Matters Holding BV. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of Pisa in 1998 and has worked at University of Twente, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, and Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo National Research Council.
