Welcome!

dr. Alessandro Corbetta

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Physics and Science Education at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, leading the group "AI for traffic and complex flows".

Our research focuses on active flowing matter, pedestrian crowd flows, and artificial intelligence techniques for fluid mechanics.

We have extensive experience in high-reliability/high-performance software with scientific and data analytics purposes. Resume and IT.

:) With colleagues J.Meeusen, C.Lee, R.Benzi and F.Toschi, I was awarded the 2021 IG Nobel in Physics (cerimony webcast), for "conducting experiments to learn why pedestrians do not constantly collide with other pedestrians".

For students: please find a (work-in-progress) technical guide at this link.
