Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Formaggia is a Professor of Numerical Analysis at Politecnico di Milano with over 15 years of experience developing numerical models for partial differential equations, particularly in cardiovascular flows and computational geosciences. He leads the MOX Laboratory and plays a key role in departmental and doctoral governance, bridging academic research with industrial impact as a partner in the spinoff MOXOFF. His background spans high-performance CFD, fluid-structure interaction, and mesh adaptation from roles at EPFL, CRS4, and in aeronautics, complemented by deep C++ expertise. Trained with a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics from Swansea and a cum laude engineering degree from Padova, he combines rigorous theory with practical software development for industrial tools. Less obvious is his sustained track record of translating academic models into commercial applications through spinoffs and industry collaborations.
