ME 311 - THERMODYNAMICS I

Alberto’s research focuses on developing efficient algorithms and reduced-order models to enable the computer-assisted analysis, design, and control of large-scale physical systems. His work spans several fields, including high- and low-speed fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, applied dynamical systems theory, optimal control, and machine learning/data science for dynamical systems.
