Stefania Cherubini

Stefania Cherubini is a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanics, Mathematics & Management at Politecnico di Bari, Italy. Her academic work focuses on fluid dynamics, turbulence, and wind energy, with a particular emphasis on stability analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and data assimilation techniques.

• Research areas: Fluid Dynamics, Turbulence, Wind Energy, Stability Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Data Assimilation, Aeroacoustics, Nonlinear Optimization

Recent publications highlight her work on wind turbine simulations using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) models, dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) for wake analysis, and graph neural networks (GNNs) for CFD closure modeling. She investigates superhydrophobic surfaces, boundary-layer instabilities, and nonlinear optimization in transitional and turbulent flows.

Key article trends include: (1) Wind turbine aeroacoustics and wake dynamics; (2) Machine learning integration in fluid flow simulations; (3) Nonlinear stability analysis of complex flows; (4) Superhydrophobic drag reduction mechanisms; (5) Turbulent transition modeling in channel and boundary-layer flows.
