Biography

Adriana Irma Pesci is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the intersection of Fluid Dynamics and Biophysics. Her research encompasses the understanding of topological transitions in fluid systems, particularly in relation to living organisms. She has been engaged in fluid dynamics since the late 1990s, with a particular interest in the dynamics of drop pinching. Her recent work examines the reconnection of Plateau borders and the collapse of bounded minimal surfaces within the framework of soap films. Pesci has contributed to the study of flows generated by swimming organisms and has developed equations of motion that describe self-sustained oscillations in long, thin filaments. Throughout her career, she has published numerous papers in leading scientific journals and has collaborated with various researchers in the field.
