About

I am a physicist with a strong background in fluid dynamics, especially in turbulence.

I obtained my degree (licenciatura) in Physics from the Physics department of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina). In April 2023, I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics, also from the University of Buenos Aires.

During my Ph.D. I worked under the supervision of Pablo Cobelli and Pablo Mininni in the Fluids and Plasma group (FLiP) at the Physics Department of the University of Buenos Aires. My research focused mostly on particle dynamics in turbulent flows: I conducted experiments in a turbulent von Kármán swirling flow, set up in the lab in Buenos Aires as part of my master’s assignment, using mostly particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) techniques. I also carried out Direct Numerical Simulations using the GHOST code to compare with the experiments.

Since May 2023 I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Physics of Fluids department at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. I am working in collaboration with Sander G. Huisman and Detlef Lohse. My current research involves studying the melting of ice under different flow conditions, performing numerical simulations of idealized configurations to understand the underlying physics involved in the melting process. I am using the AFiD-MuRPhFi code, which models the solid-liquid transition with the phase-field method.
