Paul Grassia

Dr. Paul Grassia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He joined TU/e in 2024 after positions at the University of Strathclyde (2015–2024) and the University of Manchester (1998–2015). His research bridges engineering, applied mathematics, and physics, focusing on foams, suspensions, and emulsions. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (1994) and a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics from the University of Western Australia (1989).

**Education**:

• PhD in Mathematics, University of Cambridge, 1990–1994
• BSc (Hons) in Mathematics, University of Western Australia, 1985–1989

**Research Interests**: Grassia’s work examines foams across multiple scales, including foam drainage and rheology. He studies applications in energy-efficient processes such as froth flotation, foam-based gas storage, and soil remediation. His research also extends to solid-liquid suspensions and liquid-liquid emulsions, emphasizing their roles in environmental and industrial contexts.

**Recent Work Trends**: His publications focus on modeling foam dynamics in geological formations, bubble behavior in confined systems, and flow reversal phenomena. These studies emphasize practical applications in energy efficiency and sustainable resource management.

**Editorial & Teaching**: Grassia serves on the editorial board of the *Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A* (2016–2025) and teaches the course *Heat and Flow* at TU/e.
