About me

Hello!

I am a PhD candidate in Fluid Mechanics at Université de Poitiers. My research focuses on fluid dynamical system prediction and reduced-order modeling 🌪️, leveraging deep learning methods such as autoencoders and transformers 🤖.

I am a proud alumnus of the Von Karman Institute. My European academic journey has taken me across Italy 🇮🇹, Belgium 🇧🇪, and France 🇫🇷, shaping both my research perspective and my appreciation for diverse cultures. Having lived in Belgium for over three years, I remain deeply connected to its culture 🍟🍫. However, as a true Italian at heart, pizza reigns supreme.

• September 2025 – VIVALDy Preprint Paper: Extended version of the framework presented at AiFluids, Chania
  Our latest work extends the framework initially presented at AiFluids 2025 with deeper analysis of the learned latent space dynamics. VIVALDy combines a β-VAE-GAN architecture with transformers to reconstruct vortex-induced vibrations from cylinder displacement alone, revealing physically meaningful flow structures through latent space topology.

• July 2025 – Presented at THMT25, Tokyo
  I presented an extension of the work presented at EUROMECH 629, with deeper analysis of the latent space, and the possibility for the model to reconstruct 3D fields.

• May 2025 – VIVALDy debuts at AiFluids, Chania
  Our latest framework, VIVALDy, was presented at AiFluids 2025. It combines a β-VAE-GAN architecture with transformers to reconstruct vortex-induced vibrations from cylinder displacement alone.

• April 2025 – Presented at EUROMECH 629, London
  Our work on modeling near-wall turbulence using a β-VAE-GAN and transformer framework was presented at EUROMECH 629.

• February 2025 – Presented at DTE AICOMAS, Paris
  Our work on reduced-order modeling of experimental turbulent flows was presented at DTE-AICOMAS 2025, covering POD, variational autoencoders, and advanced ROM techniques.
