About me
Welcome! Hossein (Aria) Seyedzadeh is a Ph.D. candidate in Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University, specializing in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), turbulence-resolving simulations, and digital twinning of complex environmental and energy systems. His research focuses on developing high-fidelity numerical frameworks to investigate multiphysics fluid dynamic phenomena using large-eddy simulation (LES) and high-performance computing (HPC).
Currently, Aria serves as a Research Assistant at the Energy, Environmental & Biological Fluid Dynamics Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Ali Khosronejad at Stony Brook University, and with the US Department of Energy-funded Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC). His work spans marine renewable energy, environmental fluid mechanics, particle transport, sediment dynamics, and biological flows, with applications ranging from tidal energy systems to respiratory aerosol transport.
Aria’s research aims to advance the science and engineering of sustainable energy and environmental systems through high-fidelity CFD and digital twin technologies. His recent work investigates utility-scale marine hydrokinetic turbine farms in Long Island Sound, focusing on wake dynamics, turbulence interactions, environmental impacts, and techno-economic analysis for resilient tidal energy deployment.
In addition to renewable energy applications, Aria has conducted research on respiratory droplet transport, facial mask efficacy, electroosmotic microchannel flows, and sediment transport processes. His expertise includes immersed boundary methods, actuator-line modeling, multiphysics simulations, and large-scale parallel computing using HPC clusters.
