Dr. Alfredo Soldati

Professor of Fluid Mechanics, Head of the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer · Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien), Austria · company speakers →

Professor Alfredo Soldati, born in Livorno (Italy), is Universität Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Director of the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer at Technische Universität Wien (since 2016), and Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Università di Udine, Italy (since 2016, partial appointment). He leads internationally recognized research on the transport, dispersion, and fragmentation of inertial particles, droplets, and bubbles in turbulent multiphase flows. His work integrates Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) with high-precision optical experiments, advancing the fundamental understanding of turbulent transport, interfacial dynamics, coalescence, breakage, and phase change. His group has pioneered advanced phase-field numerical methodologies and developed cutting-edge multi-camera, laser-based experimental techniques capable of resolving sub-Kolmogorov particle dynamics and real-time interface deformation. Professor Soldati holds major international leadership roles, including Rector of the International Center for Mechanical Sciences (CISM), Udine; co-President of the ICTAM 2028 World Congress; Member of the Executive Committee of the IUTAM Congress Committee; and Member of the Scientific Committee of BICTAM. He also serves as co–Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Multiphase Flow, contributing to shaping the global research agenda in fluid mechanics.
