Francesco Fedele is a tenured Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering. His scholarly research spans Ocean Sciences, Nonlinear Wave Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Probability and Random Fields, Computer Vision, Geotechnical and Structural Engineering. He contributed significantly to the physical understanding and prediction of rogue waves. His research appeared in prestigious journals such as the Scientific Reports-Nature, Physical Review Letters, Journal of Fluid Mechanics among others. His research had an impact in ocean and naval engineering. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) implemented his stochastic model for spacetime extremes in their operational forecast wave model. He has also supported the National Transportation Safety Board into the investigation of the 2015 sinking of the El Faro cargo ship.
