Hey there! I'm Víctor, a PhD student in Aeronautics at Imperial College London.

Here's a bit about my academic journey so far:

I grew up in Badalona, a city near Barcelona. I did my undergraduate studies in Mathematics at Autonomous University of Barcelona. Then I moved to Paris, where I pursued my master's degree in Applied and Theoretical Mathematics at Dauphine-PSL University.

During my undergraduate studies, I worked on a project titled Numerical Propagation of Trajectories of Earth-Orbiting Spacecraft under the guidance of J. M. Mondelo.

During my stay in Paris, I specialized in Computational Fluid Dynamics. My final project, 2D Turbulence Spreading, was supervised by A. Alexakis and E. Dormy.

In October 2024, I moved even norther, to London, where I began my PhD. My PhD focuses on the transition to turbulence over gaps using direct numerical simulations with a spectral/hp element method approach. I am being supervised by S. Sherwin and Y. Hwang.

Beyond Academia

Outside of academia, I enjoy cycling and hiking, which keep me active and allow me to explore nature.
