Davide Modesti is an Assistant Professor at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI). His research focuses on wall-bounded turbulent flows in both compressible and incompressible regimes, which he studies using high-fidelity numerical simulations. His specific topics of interest include high-speed aerodynamics, heat transfer by forced convection, and flows over rough surfaces, complemented by the development of numerical schemes and algorithms for high-performance computing. Before joining GSSI, he earned a PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from La Sapienza University of Rome. He worked as a research fellow at the DynFluid laboratory in Paris and the University of Melbourne, and later as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology.
