Current Research Interests

Currently, the scientific activity is on two lines.

The former on safety in the process industries: in particular the analysis of the consequences of accidents related to the dispersion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), in order to define both the interaction with obstacles and criteria for the design of mitigation barriers, and with the dispersion of fine particles in the street canyons (this project is mainly developed with the Dutch research center TNO) through the modeling with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes.

The latter line of research, always with CFD, concerns the development of methodologies for the simulation of micro and nano-reactors for the synthesis of nanoparticles, for the scale-down of the reactors at risk of thermal runaway (in particular polymerization processes) and for process intensification.
