Charbel Farhat

Charbel Farhat is an aerospace engineer and computational scientist who is the Vivian Church Hoff Professor of Aircraft Structures in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. He is also a professor in Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering. From 2008 to 2023, he chaired Stanford's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, serving from 2022 to 2023 as the inaugural James and Anna Marie Spilker Chair of the department.

Farhat's work is in computational mechanics, high-performance computing, computational fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, and fluid–structure interaction. He is known for contributions to scalable finite-element algorithms, including the FETI method, and for computational methods for moving-grid fluid dynamics, coupled nonlinear fluid–structure systems, model order reduction, and simulation-based engineering.

He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a member of the Lebanese Academy of Sciences. His honors include the Daniel Guggenheim Medal, the Gordon Bell Prize, the Sidney Fernbach Award, a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship, the Kuwait Prize in Applied Sciences, the John von Neumann Medal, and the Gauss-Newton Medal.
