My research interests are in the fields of active flow control, fluid actuators, aeroacoustics, and experimental methods in fluid mechanics. In these pages I describe my research activities trying to be accurate while avoiding too many technical terms. The result is more of an introduction to my research rather that an in depth review. I hope I succeeded in making this informative enough for scientists and enjoyable enough for other readers.
