After obtaining his Ph.D. at the Mechanical Engineering Department (Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain), he moved to Ottawa (Canada) where he worked with Spectral Element Methods (SEM) for CFD applications. As a member of CARTHE and the Mathematics Department at City University of New York, his main interest is using SEM tools to study the turbulent heat and mass transfer in the context of oceanography. His primary research goal is to develop and implement models that allow us to shed some light on the dynamics of multiphase flows associated to oil/gas plumes resulting from oil spills in the deep ocean.
