Hello! I am a theoretical physicist, currently a PostDoctoral Resercher at the Centre INRIA d’Université Côte d’Azur, Sophia Antipolis, France specialising in statistical mechanics, high performance computing, active matter and control theory.

Since my PhD, I have been working on Dynamical Systems and the control of Lagrangian turbulent problems under high Reynolds flows conditions, using both data-driven (Reinforcement Learning) and equation-informed (Optimal Control) approaches. In particular, in my PhD thesis titled “Active control of Lagrangian particle transport in complex and turbulent flows”, I investigated the potentiality of control tools to: (i) minimize the relative separation of Lagrangian particle pairs (which, in the absence of control, would inevitably diverge exponentially) and (ii) improve the collective transport of a swarm.

From the computational point of view, I use Pseudo-Spectral codes to simulate the time evolution of the Navier-Stokes equations on high performance computing facilities. More recentely, I have also begun exploring theoretical problems connected to passive scalar turbulence.
