Research interests
My main research interest is to better understand pollutant atmospheric transport and turbulent mixing as well as direct applications such as accurate (GHG and other pollutants) emissions quantification, air quality and toxic exposure that have an impact on mankind’s quality of life, health and the environment. I use computational models (LES, LPDM, RANS), experimental measurements and model-data fusion statistical techniques to achieve a better understanding of the processes and their representation in the models to try to improve upon them. I am also interested in experimental design and new measurements techniques and strategies that have the potential to improve our understanding of transport and mixing processes in the atmosphere and, in particular, emissions quantification as well as computational techniques that allow for increased code efficiency and parallelization.
