Research interests
- Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulation
- Instabilities & Turbulence
- Aeroacoustics
- Numerical Analysis
- Data Driven and Modal Decomposition Techniques
- Modal Reduction Methods on Cavity Flow Applying Data Driven methods to two different database (DNS and PIV) of a low Mach number cavity flow to investigate the current open questions around the underlying non‑linear interactions of the different flow phenomena.
- Developing Modal Analysis Methods Enhancing the performance of modal‑decomposition techniques currently used in our lab (Bispectral mode decomposition, Spectral POD) by integrating mathematical theories and signal processing techniques in these methods and also enhancing the computation hours by parallelizing the codes.
