Research Interests

Computational Fluid Dynamics, Multiphase Compressible Flows, Finite Volume Schemes

My current research activities are mainly dedicated to the development of computational models for multiphase compressible flows, and it focuses on simulation methods for liquid-vapor flows with transfer processes. In particular, I am interested in the modelling of cavitating flows for various industrial applications.
