Research interests

My research activity is focused on modelling fundamental mechanisms mainly in fluid dynamics and also in general nonlinear systems. I do this through the use of analytical and numerical tools. I am mainly interested in the following areas:
vortex dynamics, hydrodynamic stability of open flows, non-linear extended dynamical systems or biomechanics.

For vortex dynamics, my work is directed towards understanding the evolution of a single or several interacting vortices. I am presently investigating vortex reconnection in three-dimensions as well as vortex creation by shear layer instabilities or else their destruction by other instabilities

For stability of boundary layers, jets or wakes, I have studied the role and
pertinence of notions such as convective/absolute instabilities, nonlinear finite amplitude states, non normal modes. I am currently studying the role of a magnetic field on the dynamics of channel flows.
