RESEARCH PROFILE

Giulia Finotello is an assistant professor at the Power and Flow group in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Her research focuses on the experimental and numerical investigations of multiphase flows. The research objectives of her group include the study of metal powder production and reactive particle-based processes. The production and deposition of metal particles through spray technologies (gas and ultrasonic atomization) is crucial for additive manufacturing. Furthermore, metal powder can be used as a C02-free energy carrier. Within the topic of the metal fuel cycle, Giulia focuses on designing and developing technologies for the regeneration of combusted powder.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND

After completing her studies in Chemical Engineering in Polytechnic of Torino (Italy), Giulia Finotello started her PhD in the Multiphase Reactors Group of Professor J.A.M Kuipers at Chemical Engineering Department of TU/e. In February 2019 she obtained her PhD on experiments and simulations of droplet collision dynamics in a spray dryer. Giulia Finotello worked during her postdoc on the design and teaching of a new Course, Practical Transport Phenomena, for the Bachelor program of Chemical Engineering. From 2019 she is assistant professor in the Power and Flow group of the Mechanical Engineering Department of TU/e.
