About me

I am currently a scientific researcher (Chargée de recherche) at the Inria center University of Lorraine and antenne University Strasbourg in the MACARON research team (formerly TONUS) seated at at the University Strasbourg.

I have a PhD in Computational Mathematics from the University of Insubria in Como (Italy) advised by Prof. Gabriella Puppo and I have been a Post Doctoral researcher at the JGU Mainz (Germany) in the Numerical Analysis group of Prof. Mária Lukáčová-Medvid’ová.

My research interests are in numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations.
In particular

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for atmospheric flows, multi-phase flows and multi-material interactions
  • Implicit, semi-implicit and implicit-explicit methods applied to low Mach number flows and multi-scale systems
  • Structure preserving numerical schemes with focus on
    • well-balancing (WB),
    • asymptotic preserving (AP) property,
    • entropy stability,
    • (hyperbolic) thermodynamic consistency (HTC),
    • involution constraints
  • High order finite volume methods involving limiting in time, MOOD strategies
  • Applications of interest include (not only)
    • Euler equations and Euler equations with gravity
    • MHD equations
    • Diffusive interphase models (from SHTC or Baer-Nunziato theory)
    • Compressible monolithic models (gas-liquid-solid)
