I am a fluid dynamicist with active research efforts in the areas of hydrodynamic stability, turbulence and extreme flow compressibility, with application also to astrophysics. In my research, I use a combination of theoretical fluid dynamics, numerical modeling, and analysis of laboratory observations. I personally trust in the interdisciplinary approach. By crossing traditional boundaries between disciplines, I believe that new knowledge and interpretation of phenomena, today known in part only, can emerge.

Here is my CV and the homepage of my research group PHILOFLUID.
