Antonio Attili is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computational Reactive Flows at the University of Edinburgh. He obtained a Master degree in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Sapienza University of Rome. Then he worked, first as PostDoc and then as Research Scientist, at CCRC in KAUST. Before joining the faculty in Edinburgh, he led the Reactive Flow Physics Simulation group in the Institute for Technical at RWTH Aachen. Attili’s research interests are in turbulence and combustion, soot formation in flames, aerosols, combustion instabilities, rocket propulsion, numerical methods, and massively parallel computing. He is interested in big-data analysis and the application of machine learning to fluid mechanics. He uses large-scale simulations to investigate the physics of multi-physics and multi-scale phenomena and develop reduced models for industrial applications. He recently won the best paper award of the Combustion Symposium and edited a book on “Analysis of Combustion DNS Data”.
