My research develops novel computational methods for multiphysics phenomena, leveraging high-performance computing and machine learning to push the limits of simulation and modeling. It unites physics, machine learning and large-scale computation to advance science and engineering in energy and complex flow systems.
News
July 2026 — Applications are open for the YADIAS doctoral fellowship. Interested applicants willing to work on an interdisciplinary project using machine learning and high-performance computing are welcome to reach out to discuss research projects.
June 2026 — I will be joining the University of Luxembourg, Department of Engineering, as an Assistant Professor starting January 2027. Prospective PhD students, postdocs and students are welcome to contact me, I will have several positions open.
November 2024 - I will be joining Harvard University, CSElab, as a postdoctoral researcher starting January 2025.
2024 — We have been granted HPC access on Alps at CSCS to run large eddy simulation of the hydrogen operation of a LEan Azimuthal Flame (LEAF) combustor, aiming to characterize the flame structure and NOx production pathways to optimize hydrogen combustion for decarbonized power generation.
2023 — Our JETHPAC project, a joint SNSF/ANR PRCI with ETH Zürich and CERFACS, has been awarded funding. The project develops non-equilibrium plasma discharges to enable reliable ignition and combustion instability control in lean hydrogen-air mixtures, supporting the safe and efficient use of carbon-free hydrogen fuel.
