About

I am a researcher at the Institute for Water and Environment of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). My research focuses on two main topics. The first topic is related to the development of numerical models for environmental problems with specific focus on river ecohydraulics such, as fine sediment, pollutant and thermal transport in rivers, as well as on habitat modelling. The second topic concerns the development and implementation of different strategies to optimize the computational efficiency and accuracy of hydro-morphodynamic numerical simulations.

Expertise Fields/Interests:

My current research focuses on two main topics. The first topic is related to the development of numerical models for environmental problems with specific focus on river eco-hydraulics such as fine sediment, pollutant and thermal transport in rivers. In particular, I am working on the numerical investigation of the thermal heterogeneity in river affected by hydropower production. The second topic concerns the development and implementation of different strategies to optimize the computational efficiency of numerical simulations. In this scope, I am involved in the development and application of two-dimensional numerical solutions for river hydro-morphodynamic modelling within the BASEMENT project (www.basement.ethz.ch).
