Research activity focuses on mesoscale modelling of fluids and is framed within a multidisciplinary context involving fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics, applied mathematics, high-performance computing, and materials science. In particular, the work develops and exploits fluctuating hydrodynamics theory and phase-field models to address complex multiscale phenomena. These approaches, combined with massively parallel numerical simulations, enable the investigation of a wide spectrum of physical processes spanning molecular to hydrodynamic scales, including phase transitions in fluids, cellular membrane mechanics, alloy solidification, freezing, and crystallisation dynamics.
