Career and Research
Ugo Piomelli is from Naples, Italy. He earned a Laurea in Ingegneria Aeronautica from the Università di Napoli “Federico II” in 1979. He completed his Master’s at the University of Notre Dame between 1981 and 1983. During this period, he specialized in the numerical analysis of solid blocking effects for two-dimensional flow past an airfoil in a wind tunnel. After obtaining his Master's degree, Piomelli relocated to California to embark on his Ph.D. program under the guidance of Dr. Parviz Moin, with a focus on turbulent modeling. The initial years of his Ph.D. were primarily spent at NASA Ames’s Research Center. In 1986, Piomelli joined Stanford University with Moin.
In 1987, a year before completing his Ph.D., Piomelli started as a faculty member at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. Over the next 21 years, he progressed from the role of Assistant, Associate, and finally Full Professor. He served as Associate Chair and Director of Graduate Studies from 2002 to 2007.
In August 2008, Piomelli joined the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston (ON) Canada, where he is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Turbulence Simulation and Modelling, and the HPCVL-Sun Microsystems Chair in Computational Science and Engineering.
