Department of Applied Physics and Science Education

My main research interest is the statistical physics of complex systems, more precisely my work is at the crossroad between complex flows, complex fluids, and active matter. We employ experiments, observations and, primarily, state-of-the-art large-scale, high-fidelity numerical simulations. Most of the research challenges that I like to undertake involve important multi-scale aspect, where non-trivial physics emerges at the large-scales, due to the microscopic physics. Several research topics that we are working on are also strongly interdisciplinary, trying to push the boundaries of physics across different disciplines. In the computational work we are daily busy with innovation of numerical methods, and large-scale numerical simulations.
