Maria Fernandino

Maria Fernandino is a Professor at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at NTNU, where she directs the Thermal Two-Phase Flow Laboratory. She holds a Nuclear Engineering degree from Argentina's Balseiro Institute and a PhD in Fluid Mechanics from NTNU (Norway). Her expertise combines experimental and numerical approaches to study multiphase flow phenomena, particularly droplet dynamics, wetting, evaporation, and condensation processes.

• Research Focus: Two-phase flow simulations/experiments, heat transfer mechanisms, and gas-liquid/liquid-liquid separation in the oil & gas sector
• Teaching: Courses include TEP4100 Fluid Mechanics, EP8990 Multiphase Flow, and EP8989 Microfluidics

Her work emphasizes numerical methods for interfacial phenomena involving droplets and bubbles, with applications in industrial fluid dynamics challenges.
