Sylvain Laizet is a professor in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, specializing in Computational Fluid Mechanics. He holds a PhD and Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches from the University of Poitiers in France, focusing on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applied to turbulence. His research interests include understanding turbulent flows in engineering applications, high-order finite-difference methods, and highly scalable flow solvers. He collaborates with partners in France and Brazil to study turbulent flows using supercomputers. His recent investigations cover wake-to-wake interactions of wind farms, Bayesian optimization techniques for drag reduction, energy savings, and active control solutions for turbulent flows. He also explores immersed boundary methods for moving objects, machine learning algorithms in CFD, and the potential of quantum algorithms for CFD.
