Aerospace engineer from ENSICA-Toulouse in 2002, I obtained my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY at Buffalo in 2003, with specialization in optimization and game theory, and started teaching and studying for my PhD at UPC in 2004. My PhD, completed in 2009 within the Applied Mathematics department, developed high-order numerical methods for incompressible flows.
After my PhD, I shifted my research from developing numerical methods to using them for innovating engineering problems. I have been focusing on Computational Fluid Dynamics studies for wind energy generation, models of thermal winds, and for multiphase flows with space applications both using commercial CFD software (ANSYS-Fluent) and open-source ones (OpenFOAM). In parallel, I also apply optimization techniques to air traffic flow management problems and work on modelling of flight CO2 emissions.
