Francesco Ambrogi, Ph.D.

Faculty Advisor | Assistant Professor, Mechanical & Materials Engineering

Dr. Ambrogi is a world-class fluid dynamicist and one of Queen's most celebrated educators. He leads the FEBUS Lab at Smith Engineering, where he pushes the boundaries of turbulence simulation using large-eddy and direct numerical simulations. His research, published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and AIAA Journal, tackles the physics of unsteady separation, pressure-gradient-driven boundary layers, and biomimetic flow control. A three-time winner of the Silver Wrench Award and recipient of EngSoc's Golden Apple Award, Dr. Ambrogi is as exceptional in the classroom as he is at the cutting edge of research.
