My research involve the physics of accretion disks associated to energetic phenomena. Includes the growth of supermassive black holes, the radiation transfer process, turbulence, star formation in the disk, proto-planetary disks, and tidal disruption events. I use large numerical simulations (hydrodynamical simulations) to understand the Universe.
