Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica (FEM) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Equador
He received the B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Polytechnic School (EPN), Ecuador (2012), the M.Sc. and the Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil in 2017 and 2021, respectively. In 2019, he did an internship at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, working as a research assistant. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Rochester in the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, mainly working in sediment transport. Currently, he is a postdoctoral associate at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where he is working in the field of all solid-state batteries. His research interests lie in the fields of granular matter, fluidized beds, sediment transport, turbulent flows, in both lab experiments, CFD, and DEM simulations. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

A fluidized bed is a suspension of solid particles (grains) in a vertical tube submitted to an ascendant fluid flow. Given their high heat and mass transfers, fluidized beds are frequently employed for the gasification of solid fuels. Uniform fluidized beds are uncommon in industrial facilities, and usually instabilities appear. These instabilities consist of transverse waves, bubbles, or…
The transport of solid particles as bed load by a fluid flow is widely encountered in industrial and environmental applications. For example, it can be found in rivers, oceans, petroleum pipelines, sewer systems, and dredging lines. Bed load transport is a kind of dense granular flow and it is known to segregate grains by size and by shape. Understanding the dynamics between the granular …
