INTRODUCTION

My research focuses on bio-inspired and environmental engineering problems that involve numerical simulation and data processing of vortical and turbulent fluid flows. To solve such problems, I use combination of high-performance computing and reduced order modelling. My main research topic is the aerodynamics of animal and bio-inspired flight. Besides that, I participated in a project on the wing-tip vortices in aeronautics and, more recently, got involved in research on the aquatic locomotion. On the technical side, I contributed to the development of computational fluid dynamics methods such as the volume penalization method, wavelet-based adaptive gradient-augmented level-set method, and I am currently working on data compression for large three-dimensional numerical datasets.
