Andrea Gruber holds a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU (2006), he is Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Energy Research and Adjunct Professor at NTNU. His research interests are in the development and deployment of massively parallel direct numerical simulations (DNS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to gain insight and accurately predict turbulent reactive flows of relevance to thermal energy conversion (gas turbines and internal combustion engines).
