About me

🌊 Turbulent Flows 🧬 AI4Science 🤖 Deep Learning 📉 Reduced-Order Modelling

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

I am an 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.

France–Stanford Center Visiting Student Researcher Fellowship 🏆

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." Visiting Stanford has been a goal since day one of my PhD, and it is exciting to see those dots align. Honored to receive the France–Stanford Center Visiting Student Researcher Fellowship to join Prof. Beverley J. McKeon's group (Oct.–Nov. 2026). We will focus on explainable AI (SHAP) to quantify coherent structures in unsteady turbulent boundary layers. Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Presented at EUROMECH Colloquium 665 – Paris

Presented "Navigating the Intermittency: A Generative Surrogate for Long-Horizon Forecasting of Minimal Flow Unit from Sparse Measurements" at EUROMECH Colloquium 665 on Data-driven active control in flows.

VIVALDy Paper Published: Extended version of the framework presented at AiFluids, Chania

Our latest work published in Physical Review Fluids extends the framework initially presented at AiFluids 2025 with deeper analysis of the learned latent space dynamics.

VIVALDy preprint on arXiv

The VIVALDy preprint is now available on arXiv. The framework combines a β-VAE-GAN with masked convolutions and a bidirectional transformer to reconstruct turbulent flow around a moving cylinder using only cylinder displacement as input.

Presented at THMT-25 – Tokyo

An extension of the work presented at EUROMECH 629 was presented at the 11th International Symposium on Turbulence Heat and Mass Transfer (THMT-25) in Tokyo, Japan. A deeper analysis of latent space forecasting was carried out, showing the framework accurately predicts latent space dynamics and preserves chaotic characteristics within one Lyapunov time.
