Introduction

Welcome to my website.

I have a Ph.D. in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and I have expertise in multiphase flow simulations using the Euler-Lagrange approach and direct numerical simulations (DNS) based on spectral element methods. My research focuses on turbulence, drag reduction, and multiphase flows, with a strong proficiency in Nek5000.
