ABOUT ME

I am a CNRS Researcher (Chargée de Recherche) in the Laboratoire des Ecoulements Géophysiques et Industrielles (LEGI, UMR5519) in Grenoble, France, where I conduct research on a variety of geophysical flows including gravity currents, geophysical turbulence, vortices, stratified boundary layers using both laboratory and theoretical models. I earned a PhD at the Institute for Hydromechanics, at the KIT, Karlsruhe (Germany) after a MS+BS in Environmental Engineering at the University of Trento in my hometown.
The focus of my research is to improve the understanding of how mesoscale and submesoscale processes such as buoyancy driven surface and bottom currents, turbulent mixing and entrainment, river plumes and mesoscale vortices influence and modify the general circulation of the ocean and inland waters. My principal goal is to improve our understanding of the underlying dynamics, leading to a more reliable and accurate representation of these processes in ocean and climate models.
