Biography

Guglielmo Scovazzi received a B.S./M.S. in aerospace engineering (summa cum laude) from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. Before joining Duke, Scovazzi was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Computer Science Research Institute of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. His research interests include advanced numerical methods in computational fluid-solid mechanics with a focus on finite element techniques, multiphase porous media flows, turbulent flow computations, and instability phenomena. He has published extensively on these topics, contributing to various leading journals in computational physics and engineering. Scovazzi has been recognized as a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences and the Kavli Foundation and received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the White House in 2018. He was awarded the Early Career Award from the U.S. Department of Energy for outstanding contributions to advanced scientific computing research.
