Sylvain Laizet is a professor in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, specializing in Computational Fluid Mechanics. He holds a PhD in Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches from the University of Poitiers in France, with a focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applied to turbulence. His research interests center around understanding turbulent flows and their engineering applications. He collaborates with institutions in France and Brazil to develop high-order finite-difference flow solvers that are highly scalable and dedicated to the study of turbulent flows using supercomputers. His current research includes investigating wake-to-wake interactions in wind farms, employing Bayesian optimization techniques for drag reduction and energy savings, and exploring active control solutions for turbulent flows using immersed boundary methods for moving objects. Additionally, he is interested in machine learning algorithms as they relate to computational fluid dynamics and is examining the potential for quantum algorithms in CFD.
