-  * Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) +Since 2018, I have been working on machine learning methods applied to space weather applications, in collaboration with [[https://ecamporeale.github.io/|Enrico Camporeale]], as I have taken over two EU projects in this direction from Enrico (AIDA and ESCAPE, see below). Current research focuses on forecasting time-series data, recognizing magnetic reconnection, and the use of unsupervised methods for e.g. dimensionality reduction and clustering.

 + 
 +  * Simulating incompressible flow with the Afivo framework 
 +  * Exploring hybrid OpenMP/MPI parallelization for AMR frameworks 
 +  * Solving plasma fluid equations implicitly. In particular, what is a good preconditioner? 
 +  * Improving the convergence rate of Monte Carlo particle swarm simulations in low electric fields. One idea is to limit the drift in electron momentum due to collisions.

 +  * Performing large scale 3D simulations of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)|sprite]] formation 
 +  * Coupling particle and fluid models in energy space, for the study of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_electrons|runaway electron]] production in electric discharges. 
 +  * Extending the discharge model comparison of this [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0963-0252/24/6/065002|paper]] to other fluid models
