Marco Edoardo Rosti is an Associate Professor at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), where he leads the Complex Fluids and Flows Unit. Born in Italy, he earned a Bachelor Degree in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2010, followed by an MSc in Aeronautical Engineering from the same institution in 2013. He completed his PhD in Aeronautical Engineering at City, University of London in 2016. Prior to joining OIST, Rosti held a postdoctoral fellowship at KTH Royal Institute of Technology from 2016 to 2019 and received a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research in Japan at the University of Tokyo in 2019. He served as Assistant Professor at OIST from 2020 to 2024 before his promotion to Associate Professor in 2025.
Rosti’s research centers on fluid dynamics, with emphasis on multi-scale and multi-physics problems in complex fluids and complex flows investigated through numerical simulations. His expertise includes multiphase and turbulent flows, Non-Newtonian fluids, and fluid-solid interactions, with applications to turbulent flows over complex walls and suspensions of rigid and deformable particles and filaments. He has received several honors, including the François Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics from the American Physical Society in 2025, the Reviewer Excellence Award for Physical Review Fluids in 2025, the Andrea Prosperetti Award from ICMF in 2025, recognition as an Outstanding Reviewer for the Journal of Fluid Mechanics in 2023, and the RYUMON Award for Distinguished Young Researcher in Fluid Mechanics from the Japanese Society of Fluid Mechanics in 2021. Rosti has participated in programs such as the CTR Summer Program at Stanford University and the Madrid Summer Workshops on Turbulence.
OIST researchers achieve unprecedented high-precision simulation of sediment-fluid mixing, deriving general formulation with vast implications for Japanese disaster prevention and engineering.
