Data Analysis for Direct Numerical Simulations of Turbulent Combustion

Professor Heinz Pitsch received his PhD from the RWTH Aachen University in 1998, where he is now a Full Professor and director of the Institute for Combustion Technology. He has received numerous honours and awards, including an ERC Advanced Grant, and Fellow Awards of the American Physical Society and the International Combustion Institute. He has served on the board of directors of the International Combustion Institute since 2014 and has been the chair of the German section of the Institute since 2017. Professor Pitsch has over 200 ISI-listed, peer-reviewed journal publications to his credit.Dr. Antonio Attili received his PhD from Sapienza University of Rome in 2009 and he is now Lecturer in Computational Reactive Flows in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Before, he was a Research Scientist at the Institute for Combustion Technology, RWTH Aachen University, and at KAUST, Saudi Arabia. He co-chaired and organized several workshops, including the Combustion-DNS Strategy & Data Analysis Workshop. Dr Attili has received several fellowship, including a European Space Agency and AVIO Groups Graduate Research Fellowship in 2007. He has authored and co-authored over 50 research papers published in journals and conference proceedings.
