معرفی
Alexandre Santos Francisco is Professor of Fluid Mechanics at Fluminense Federal University (Universidade Federal Fluminense) in Brazil, holding a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. He will soon serve as Visiting Professor at the ERC Advanced Grant project DyCon under Prof. Enrique Zuazua (FAU, University of Deusto, and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), focusing on computational mathematics and porous media research.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Nuclear Engineering (1994–2000), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
- Master's Degree in Nuclear Engineering (1990–1993), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (1984–1990), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
- Internship at Petrobras (1988)
Francisco's research centers on porous media, computational mathematics, and computational fluid mechanics, with emphasis on numerical methods for heterogeneous media flows. His work bridges nuclear engineering safety, environmental contaminant transport, and industrial process optimization through advanced simulation techniques.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in multiscale modeling for porous media, parallel computing implementations, and reliability assessment in nuclear systems. Key application areas include waste disposal simulation, steam generator integrity, and multiphase industrial processes, consistently integrating mathematical rigor with engineering challenges.
No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.
While student advisement details are absent, his upcoming ERC Advanced Grant project DyCon involvement signifies active grant-funded research. The project will expand his work on mathematical control theory for complex systems under Prof. Zuazua's supervision.
He collaborates internationally through the ERC DyCon project, leveraging expertise in numerical methods to address multiscale dynamics in porous media, with future work likely advancing computational techniques for energy and environmental applications.
