I am a physicist specializing in Turbulence. Here, you can find information about my research,
publications, codes, and notes.
Research
My research focuses on the intricate interplay between modeling turbulent flows and
developing a theoretical understanding of turbulence. I leverage high-fidelity direct numerical
simulations (DNS), combined with tools from analysis, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics,
closure techniques, and optimization, to explore the fundamental dynamics governing turbulent
systems.
