Hi! I'm Pier Giuseppe Ledda

I am a Tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of Cagliari, Italy. I obtained my PhD degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (VD), Switzerland.

I am interested in any problem that involves fluid mechanics and its interactions with other disciplines, trying to apply the elegance of mathematics in capturing the essence of complex physical phenomena. My research activity spans from small to large scales, although mostly focused on small scales, and combines theoretical approaches, numerical simulations, and experiments. My goal is to understand the underlying physical mechanisms and the key parameters governing fluid flows to formulate general laws capable of describing their behavior. These results can be applied to the prediction, interpretation, and optimization of fluid dynamics phenomena of both engineering and environmental relevance.
