I am a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Johan Hoffman and I develop adaptive Finite Element methods for computational aeroacoustics (CAA) and computational aerodynamics applications. I am part of the research group Computational Technology Laboratory (CTL) at the department of High Performance Computing and Visualization.

My primary interest is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), especially turbulent flows in the context of industrial applications. CAA is an interdisciplinary subject that combines CFD with aeroacoustics, and there are many challenging problems of industrial interest in CAA.

As a way of developing our work, CTL has participated on the series of workshops on Benchmark problems for Airframe Noise Computations (BANC-I, BANC-II, BANC-III) and on the 2nd AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HiLiftPW-2). These were organized by top researchers from NASA, Boeing, ONERA, and DLR, among others, to assess the state of the art in CAA and computational aerodynamics, respectively.

Some of our results can be found under publications.
