OpenFOAM® Steering Committee

Paul Eno leads the HPC Application Innovation Team at General Motors and is focused on open source solutions. His team’s mission is to drive performance and innovation while reducing complexity and cost.

Dr. Yi Wang is the Staff Vice President of FM Global, and the manager of the Fire Dynamics group in the Research Division, where he oversees the research activities of CFD fire modeling, material flammability, fire dynamics and testing. Dr. Wang and his team have been developing and using FireFOAM for industrial fire growth and suppression since 2008. Dr. Wang serves on the editorial boards of Fire Safety Journal, Fire Technology, Fire and Materials. He is also a committee member of the International Association of Fire Safety Science (IAFSS).

Federico received his PhD from the Politecnico di Milano in 2005 and since then has worked in the field of Computational Engineering, focused on the co-design of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) methodologies on leadership class machines for transient modelling, moving mesh, turbulence, multiphase and reactive flows.

His research objective is to pursue concerted innovations in physical modelling, numerical analysis, optimization and scientific computing for increasingly complex multi-disciplinary engineering applications and to co-design algorithms and computational strategies to cope with real-world uncertainty, to fundamentally change our present approach to engineering simulations relevant to broad areas of fluid mechanics and aerospace propulsion. Since 2005 he selected the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM as base tool for his research activity.
