Ricerca: Natural Convection in Metallic and Non-Metallic Liquids for Cooling Applications
SHORT BIO
With a foundation in nuclear and thermal energy, I am particularly interested in the intersection of physics-based modelling and engineering design, combining theoretical insights and advanced numerical tools to push the boundaries of knowledge.
Fascinated by transport phenomena in all its forms, I am currently pursuing a PhD exploring Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and its applications in Heat Transfer.
