Gaetano Sardina is Associate Professor in Sustainable Process Engineering, with emphasis on numerical simulations of multiphase flows. The main focus of his research is the transport of particles, droplets and bubbles in Newtonian and complex flows. His research spans from industrial to environmental and biological applications. Additional areas of specific interest involve transport in porous media and cloud microphysics.
