Dr. Ambrogi's research focuses on computational and theoretical studies of turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) under pressure gradients, with a particular focus on simulating the effects of strong, unsteady adverse and favorable pressure gradients on wall-bounded flows. Dr. Ambrogi's research has potential applications in unsteady aerodynamics (turbine blades, rotor blades, etc.) and biomimicry (swimming/flying animals) for flow control.
