Paolo Capobianchi

Dr. Paolo Capobianchi is a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, with a master’s in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. His research focuses on multiphase flow dynamics, including droplet behavior in Newtonian/non-Newtonian fluids, hydrothermal instability, microfluidics, and ferrofluid modeling. He has published extensively in top journals like Journal of Rheology and presented at international conferences. Awards include scholarships from the University of Strathclyde and BSR, and a grant for JAXA collaboration. He serves on the British Society of Rheology (BSR) and Società Italiana di Reologia (SIR).

Research interests span numerical modeling of ferrofluid emulsions, cavitation erosion prediction, and particle dynamics in liquid bridges. Projects include EPSRC-funded work on particle self-assembly in space environments and turbine erosion mitigation. Notable contributions include the JEREMI Experiment preparation and development of novel numerical methodologies for fluid systems analysis.

Awarded grants and scholarships have supported collaborations with JAXA and advanced fluid dynamics studies. Professional activities include invited speaking roles and participation in major conferences like the 37th Scottish Fluid Mechanics Meeting and COSPAR 2024.
