Francesco Contino
Professeur
Francesco Contino received his degree in electro-mechanical engineering from the UCLouvain in 2006. He has spent one year learning Chinese in Nankai University, Tianjin, China. He then performed his Ph.D. thesis at UCLouvain between 2007 and 2011 as a Research Fellow of the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique - FNRS. In 2011-2012, he had a post-doc position at Université d'Orléans, where he worked on the impact of valerate esters on engine performances. In 2012, he joined the Vrije Universiteit Brussel as Assistant Professor. Then, in 2019, he was appointed at UCLouvain, where he is since 2020 Professor.
During his PhD, he has also developed a passion for efficient scientific communication and was among the finalists of Famelab 2015. In the context of his teaching activities, Francesco Contino has also been working with Stefanie Van Damme on a workshop for high-school students about the science behind combustion and explosion: "Will it burn or will it blow?". In 2021, he started a podcast on the energy transition "Exergie".

Francesco Contino focuses his research effort on four strands: Energy systems, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of reactive systems, Real Driving Emissions and Robust Optimisation — optimisation combined with uncertainty quantification. About energy systems, he works at micro and macro levels to understand what are the key drivers to help us succeed the energy transition. For numerical simulations, he has developed a reduction method (TDAC), in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano, to use detailed mechanisms in CFD simulation; it is included in the official release of OpenFOAM. Francesco Contino also works on real driving emissions of passenger cars and heavy duty; he includes uncertainties in emission factors and uses Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS). Finally, he works on making robust design optimisation affordable by working on efficient optimiser and fast uncertainty quantification methods.
