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)
