My research area is in computational fluid dynamics of multiphase and interfacial flows. I developed theoretical models and numerical schemes in the context of the diffuse interface approach to study bubble dynamics, from its inception to collapse.

Research topics include: droplet dynamics, wetting and droplet motion on substrates, vapor bubble dynamics, bubble nucleation, bubble collapse and shockwave formation, shock-bubble interaction, bubble collapse near surfaces, freezing.

My supervisory interests cover Fluid Dynamics, Phase transitions, Numerical Simulations of complex fluids and Heat and Mass Transfer. More specifically, I'm interested in supervising Postgraduate students on the development of theoretical models and numerical codes to address the fluid dynamics of complex multiphase systems, such as boiling or cavitation phenomena.
