My research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical physics and computational fluid dynamics, with a focus on chaotic flows in viscoelastic fluids, such as elastic turbulence, polymer processing, and thermodynamic principles in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems, such as self-assembly of charged colloidal particles. I am particularly drawn to understanding complex fluids, such as nematic liquid crystals and polymer solutions, through numerical modeling and theoretical analysis. My work aims to contribute to the fundamental understanding of soft matter systems and to inform further experimental research and industrial applications.

One of the key achievements of my doctoral research was the development of an open-loop control strategy to modulate elastic turbulence in von Kármán swirling flow. I achieved this by implementing custom, time-dependent boundary conditions in OpenFOAM, an open-source finite-volume solver. This work, published in Scientific Reports, provided new insights into controlling complex fluid flows with potential applications in industrial mixing enhancement.

Recently, as a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology, my work focuses on modeling the melting behavior of recycled plastics in twin-screw extruders. This project leverages computational and experimental methods to examine the phase behavior of recycled polymers, with a particular emphasis on improving recycling processes in industry. One of my significant achievements has been demonstrating that high-level compression leads to rapid melting of polymer materials within seconds, corresponding to observed behavior in industrial extruders. This work is directly aligned with the pressing need for sustainable solutions in polymer processing.
