Luca’s research interests are in the general area of multiphase turbulence, particle laden flows, heat and mass transfer, low-Reynolds-number flows and complex fluids, hydrodynamic instabilities and flow control, with focus on the development of theoretical models and high-fidelity numerical simulations. He has more than 200 peer-reviewed journal papers including 1 Annual Review Fluid Mechanics in 2022. He was the recipient of an ERC consolidator grant to study particle suspensions in 2013 and of the “outstanding young researcher” award from the Swedish Research Council in 2014. He had been awarded the International Panetti Ferrari Prize and Golden Medal in the field of applied mechanics, Accademia dei Lincei, Turin, Italy, in 2022, the position as outstanding researcher in Mechanics by the Swedish Research Council in 2008 and the G. Gustafsson prize in 2005. Luca has served the community organizing several workshops and summer schools and is associated editor of the European Journal of Mechanics/B and of MECCANICA.
