Sauro Succi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sauro Succi (born January 15, 1954 in Forli ) is an Italian physicist.

Succi studied nuclear engineering at the University of Bologna with a degree in 1979, was a Euratom Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Munich in 1981/82 and received his doctorate in plasma physics from EPFL in Lausanne in 1987 . From 1986 to 1995 he was at the IBM European Center for Scientific and Engineering Computing in Rome. Then he was Research Director at the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo Mauro Picone of the CNR in Rome. There he headed the group for computer modeling of complex systems in hydrodynamics and biology. From 2018 he will be a senior scientist at the Center for Nanosciences of Life at La Sapienza University in Rome.

He was visiting professor at Harvard University , visiting scholar at the Scuola Normale di Pisa, the University of Paris, the ETH Zurich, the University College London, the Freiburg Institute of Advanced Studies, the Yale University and the University of Chicago.

He dealt with computer physics methods in hydrodynamics, plasma physics (e.g. fusion plasmas), statistical physics of non-equilibrium, flows in porous media, micro and nanofluidics, flows in soft matter, but also quantum mechanical flows (Bose-Einstein condensates, quark Gluon plasmas, flow of relativistic electrons in graphs) and relativistic flows in astrophysics. He is one of the founders of the Lattice Boltzmann method .

In 2017 he received the Aneesur Rahman Prize in Computational Physics for revolutionary contributions to the development and application of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (laudation). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the Academia Europaea .

In 2017 he received an ERC Advanced Grant for Computational design of porous mesoscale materials .
