Biography
Krzysztof J. Fidkowski is a Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. Dr. Fidkowski earned his S.B. in Physics and S.B., S.M, and Ph.D. degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. Before joining the University of Michigan in 2008 as an assistant professor, he was a post-doctoral associate at the Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory at MIT. He previously served as chair of the CFD Subcommittee of the AIAA Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee, organized fluids and CFD tracks at multiple AIAA conferences, and is an AIAA Associate Fellow. His primary research field is in algorithmic development for computational fluid dynamics, specifically in the use of adjoint methods for numerical error estimation, mesh adaptation, and uncertainty quantification.
