I serve as Associate Professor at the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DAER) at Politecnico di Milano. Since 2003 I have worked in the field of Computational Engineering, focusing on the co-design of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) methodologies on leadership class machines for transient modeling, moving mesh, turbulence, multiphase and reactive flows.

My research objective is to pursue concerted innovations in physical modeling, numerical analysis, optimization and scientific computing for increasingly complex multi-disciplinary engineering applications and to co-design algorithms and computational strategies to cope with real-world uncertainty, to fundamentally change our present approach to engineering simulations relevant to broad areas of fluid mechanics.

Since 2005 I selected the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM as base tool for my research activity.

I'm also member of the OpenFOAM steering committee ↗
