Biography

Francesco Ambrogi's research focuses on computational theoretical studies of turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) and pressure gradients, particularly simulating the effects of strong and unsteady adverse and favorable pressure gradients in wall-bounded flows. His work has potential applications in unsteady aerodynamics, such as turbine blades and rotor blades, as well as biomimicry inspired by swimming and flying animals, and flow control mechanisms. He has expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Turbulence, Boundary Layers, Numerical Simulations, and Unsteady Flow Separation. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen’s University, with previous experience as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Waterloo in Mechanical Mechatronics Engineering. He actively seeks talented, motivated, and curiosity-driven students for his research projects.
