I am an Aerospace Engineer since 2014 and I hold a PhD in Fluid Mechanics and Aeronautics since 2019. I have worked with the main supercomputers in Europe (MareNostrum 3 and 4 at BSC, Galileo and Marconi at CINECA, Archer at EPCC, etc.).
My main research interest is numerical methods applied to fluid mechanics and high performance computing. I research both on aeronautical fluids using high-performance DNS or LES techniques (bluff bodies, profiles, planes, etc.) and on geophysical fluids such as planetary atmospheres or oceans. Recently, I have also been researching on machine learning models applied to fluid flows, both on classical methods of dimension reduction (POD, DMD, etc.) and on algorithms that apply artificial intelligence (neural networks, autoencoders, etc.).
