Ilya Karlin
Karlin’s research is devoted to advanced and novel methods of computational physics. He has authored over 160 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals. His expertise covers methods of model reduction (Method of Invariant Manifold) with applications to kinetic theory and Boltzmann equation, polymer dynamics and complex chemical kinetics. He is key developer of the lattice Boltzmann method for fluid dynamics and micro-flow of rarefied gas. Karlin is the inventor of the unconditionally stable Entropic Lattice Boltzmann Method (ELBM) and of the Karlin-Bösch-Chikatamarla (KBC) latticed Boltzmann model which opened door to high performance computation of turbulent flows. Significance of his research was recognized through two prestigious European Research Council Advanced Grant (2011 and 2018). He heads a highly active Computational Kinetics Group at ETH Zurich, the major contributor to multiscale fluid dynamics; four of his Ph D students have received prestigious ETH Medal for their thesis.
