معرفی
Alex Hansen is a Professor and Center Director at PoreLab SFF (Porous Media Laboratory) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Physics. His research focuses on complex systems, transport phenomena in disordered systems, porous media physics, and non-equilibrium statistical physics. He leads interdisciplinary projects in porous media dynamics, with applications in energy, geophysics, and materials science.
Research interests include immiscible two-phase flow dynamics, granular media mechanics, and statistical mechanics of disordered systems. His work bridges microscopic pore-scale processes with macroscopic continuum models, using both theoretical frameworks and computational simulations. Key contributions address fingering phenomena, co-moving velocity theory, and effective rheology of multiphase flows.
Publications highlight advancements in porous media rheology, Bingham fluid dynamics, and hyper-ballistic diffusion in active matter systems. Collaborations span academia and industry, with a focus on pore network modeling and energy applications. Leadership roles include editorial positions in Frontiers in Physics and the PoreLab SFF center.
No scientific awards explicitly listed, though his extensive publication record and center directorship reflect significant contributions. Advising and collaborations involve international teams, though formal student listings are not provided. PoreLab serves as a hub for interdisciplinary porous media research, integrating physics, mathematics, and engineering approaches.
