Postdoctoral Researcher | Incoming Assistant Professor at PolyU
University of Rome Tor Vergata and INFN
Rome, Italy
Incoming: Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and INFN. I will join the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University as an Assistant Professor in 2026.
My research aims to understand and model turbulence, fluid mechanics, and complex physical systems using physics-aware AI and generative modeling. Current topics include diffusion models for turbulent flows, Lagrangian turbulence, particle-laden flows, rotating and stratified turbulence, and multiscale data reconstruction.
I welcome inquiries from students, researchers, and potential collaborators interested in AI, turbulence, fluid mechanics, and complex physical systems.
