Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlberto Cuoci is a Full Professor at Politecnico di Milano with over a decade of experience in numerical modeling of reactive flows, detailed chemical kinetics, and pollutant emissions from combustion. He leads development of widely adopted open-source tools such as OpenSMOKE++ and catalyticFOAM, bringing advanced multi-scale and microkinetic approaches into CFD for reacting and catalytic systems. His work bridges fundamental chemical reaction engineering and practical simulation of NOx, PAHs and soot formation, and includes collaborations on LES integration of chemistry and EDC-based turbulent reacting flow codes. A PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, he has held visiting appointments at institutions including Ecole Centrale de Paris and University of Utah, where he advanced soot and particle formation models. Known for combining rigorous numerical methods with open-source dissemination, he has enabled many academic groups to tackle complex reacting flow problems. An understated strength is his track record of translating microkinetic surface chemistry into scalable CFD implementations used in both academic and engineering workflows.
