Biography

I am an assistant professor at Eindhoven University of Technology. My primary research focuses on data-driven turbulence models, built upon the variational multiscale (VMS) paradigm. I have worked on extending VMS to non-standard finite element formulations, such as discontinuous Galerkin formulations and Nitsche’s method. This framework reveals the inherent and implicit scale interaction present in these formulations, and provides a handle on the development of suitable subgrid-scale models.

For my work, I have been awarded the 31st Robert J. Melosh medal in 2020, and have been elected first place at the TU/e Best Postdoc Paper Award in 2022. You may find my PhD dissertation here.

I am excited to spearhead the project “An album of computational fluid motion”, an effort to collect and develop simulation equivalents of the experimental photographs from the similarly named famous 1982 book by Prof. van Dyke.
