My research focuses on the modeling of interface dynamics and transport phenomena in multiphase processes involving dispersed gas–liquid (bubbly flows) and liquid–liquid (emulsions) systems. I aim to understand the complexity of these systems, which arises from the multiscale and unsteady nature of the surrounding flows, the presence of surfactant molecules or impurities at the interfaces, and the composition of the phases involved. The goal is to rationalize the phenomena occurring during the production and transport of these two-phase flows, in order to ensure their stability, manipulate the topology of the interfaces or the flows, enhance mass transfer, or control phase changes.

Based on Direct Numerical Simulations and their comparison to experiments, I develop and implement methods to probe fluid interfaces and investigate their dynamics, with the aim to formulate physical models for interfacial phenomena (e.g., droplet breakup, interphase mass transfer) that account for multiscale couplings.
