Research

  • Numerical Heat and Mass Transfer in Free and Porous Media

  • Multiphase and Free Surface Flows (stability analysis of jets and applications to fibre technology, wetting behaviour of evaporating drops, liquid film dynamics)

  • Material Science (surface coating, crystal growth)

  • Rheological and Dynamic Behaviour of non-Newtonian Fluids (transport of suspensions and biomedical applications)

  • Energy Systems (foams and innovative energy conversion and storage systems, optimization of energy conversion systems)

  • Enhanced Oil Recovery (thermodiffusion in multi-component systems, suspensions and asphaltene deposit in oil reservoirs)
