www.polito.itPietro Asinari: Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Asinari received his B.S. and M.S. (cum laude) in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 from “Politecnico di Torino”, Italy. After working as industrial consultant, he received his Ph.D. in Energetics in 2005 at the Department of Energetics. He is currently Associate Professor at the Energy Department of “Politecnico di Torino”. His research activity deals with proposing mesoscopic descriptions of phenomena, designing new numerical schemes (mainly in the framework of Lattice Boltzmann Method), developing new numerical codes (including parallel codes on large cluster facilities) and finally applying the previous tools in order to investigate the microscopic fluidics of industrial devices.
