I am a postdoctoral researcher interested in the behaviour of complex fluid flow in free and porous media. I combine optical techniques such as shadowgraphy and laser-induced fluorescence with X-ray computed tomography to study convective dissolution and subsurface fluid dynamics. I am based at the FUSE lab, Università degli Studi di Udine.

A New Chapter: From My Postdoctoral Research in France to the University of Udine
After completing my postdoctoral research at the DMEX Centre for X-ray Imaging at the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour in France, I am excited to begin a new chapter as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Università degli Studi di Udine, Italy, contributing to the FUSE–UD-H2 project on future underground hydrogen storage.
