- Development of setups for CFD analysis for industrial customers. - Development of python scripting for pre and post-processing of CFD cases and for automatisation of the design process. - Facilitating the use of high performance computing (HPC) infrastructures and allowing the access to advanced application of numerical simulation in an industrial context, an absolutely necessary tool for the modern R&D activity.

- Development of an application, namely Virtual PIV, with Graphic User Interface (GUI), able to process CFD data with PIV and PTV techniques. - Porting of a CFD model of a turbine vane fully developed using licensed software (Fluent, Ansys Inc.) into open-source code (OpenFOAM, OpenCFD LTD) in order to exploit the performances of High Performance Computing servers without be limited by license fees bottlenecks.
