My research lies at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computational physics, and aerospace engineering, with the objective of improving our understanding of the complex interactions between aerospace systems and their environment. I study flow-mediated phenomena involving aircraft, rotorcraft, drones, and wind turbines across a wide range of scales. A central aspect of my work is the development of novel computational methods capable of capturing the intricate coupling between turbulence, wakes, particles, and structural or environmental effects. Drawing on expertise in modeling, multidisciplinary design optimization, and high-fidelity flow simulation, I seek to deliver predictive tools that support the design of more efficient, sustainable, and resilient aerospace systems.

I am particularly interested in improving our understanding of the climate impact of aviation, particularly through the study of aircraft condensation trails and ways to mitigate them. Safety in aviation is also a concern of mine, and my research explores the interaction between aerospace vehicles and turbulent atmospheric flows, with an emphasis on active flow-control techniques. Combining advanced numerical simulations with experimental investigations allows me to gain deeper physical insight and to validate emerging models and control concepts. Beyond aviation, I am also interested in applications involving a broader class of environmental and engineering flows, including particle-laden and multiphase flows.
