Ismael Mola

Dr. Ismael Mola is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing, Department of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of Western Australia. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Monash University, specializing in CFD-DEM simulations of mixing and segregation processes in solid-liquid fluidized beds. His research focuses on computational modeling of particulate systems with applications in mining and resource industries.

Research interests include:

• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Discrete Element Modeling (DEM)
• Population balance modeling
• Particle-fluid interactions
• Fluidization technology

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on particle-scale modeling and drag force characterization in multiphase systems, with applications ranging from fluidized beds to particle settling behavior. This work contributes to improved design and optimization of industrial processes involving particulate materials.
