Speaker Bio
Stefan Pirker is Professor for Fluid Mechanics and the Head of Department for Particulate Flow Modelling, Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer at Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz (Austria). In 1996 he graduated in Mechatronics at JKU, where he completed with distinction his PhD on “Modelling, Simulation and Visualization of Metallurgical Flows” (2001). After his Habilitation (2011) he was working as the Scientific Key Researcher in the K1MET competence center, and the Head of the Christian-Doppler Laboratory on Particulate Flow Modelling.
His main research interest is the numerical modelling of particulate flows with special emphasis on multi-scale model synthesis. This involves embedded co-simulations and sub-grid models, hybrid Eulerian and Lagrangian simulations as well as recurrence models for efficient time extrapolation of full CFD simulations. The outcome of his research group has been disseminated by open-source codes (Liggghts, CFDEMcoupling) and by to date more than 200 publications in scientific journals and refereed conference proceedings.
