Thomas Abadie

Thomas Abadie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham's School of Chemical Engineering. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, and interfacial phenomena with applications in environmental and industrial challenges. He employs experimental techniques (e.g., Particle Imaging Velocimetry) and numerical methods (e.g., interface capturing/tracking) to study bubble dynamics, complex fluids, and mass transfer processes. His work spans scales from microreactors to industrial aeration systems.

Abadie holds a PhD in Fluid Mechanics (2013) and an MSc in Fluid Mechanics, Energy, and Transport Phenomena from the University of Toulouse (2010). He teaches courses on transport phenomena and supervises undergraduate and graduate research projects.

His research explores topics such as viscoelastic fluid dynamics, Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities, and graphene synthesis. Recent studies emphasize machine learning integration with multiphase flow modeling and data-driven approaches to drop size distributions. His work bridges computational methodologies with real-world applications in energy and environmental systems.

Abadie serves as a reviewer for journals like Chemical Engineering Science and Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and consults on CFD and multiphase systems. His collaborations span academia and industry, addressing challenges in wastewater treatment and renewable energy systems.
