Sauro Succi

Biography

A research associate of the National Research Council and a Research Associate to the Physics Department at Harvard University. He earned a degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Bologna and a PhD in plasma physics from the Swiss Polytechnic Institute in Lausanne (1987). Dr Succi's research deals with the mathematical and computational modeling of complex system dynamics, with special focus on classical and quantum flows across scales. He has published a book entitled "Lattice Boltzmann's Equation for Fluid Dynamics and Beyond," Oxford UP, 2001. Dr Succi has been at the University of Paris, Chicago, Yale, Scuola Normale di Pisa, Queen Mary College of London, Tufts University, Initiative on Innovative Computing at Harvard, Swiss Polytech Institute, Zurich. Dr Succi is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and the recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Award in physics, the Killam Award of the University of Calgary and the Held the Distinguished Annual Lecture at the University of Leicester (2006). Since 2009, Dr Succi is a Fellow of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS).
