About
With over 8 years of experience in energy systems and computational fluid dynamics, I specialize in developing high-performance computational codes. My work bridges the gap between complex numerical methods and sustainable engineering applications.
I actively coordinate technical activities for EU Horizon projects and am a published author of 14 peer-reviewed articles, including 8 as first author. From modelling applied energy systems to global energy systems, my focus remains on utilizing modelling methodologies to drive positive environmental impacts.
