His research focuses on pulsatile and periodic flow dynamics, as well as flow-structure interactions. The primary goal is to model and characterize the dynamics of coherent vortex structures in these flow problems using data generated from in-house developed non-invasive measurements (in particular, PIV related techniques, from 2D, Tomo to particle tracking) and CFD tools (in particular, LES). This will enhance our fundamental understanding of the physical processes governing the evolution of these flow structures, aiding in the optimization of scalar mixing and momentum delivery in various applications from precision substance delivery to motion characterization of dynamic cables for floating offshore wind turbine platforms.
In recent years, his research extends to the application of fluid dynamics in biomedical areas, collaborating with physicists and cardiologists. This includes the investigations of the role of pulsatile vortex dynamics in human cardiac flows using data collected through 4D Flow Magnetic Resonance scanning, and development of novel ventricular assist devices for congenital and pediatric patient groups.
