Biography

Professor Aliseda's research focuses on fluid mechanics applications in energy, environmental, and biomedical flows. He specializes in the dynamics of multiphase flows, including bubbles and water droplets in air. These types of flows are crucial for a range of engineering and environmental problems, such as gas exchange in the atmosphere and ocean, the formation of raindrops and clouds, and the atomization of liquids during combustion and manufacturing processes. His work also involves the dynamics of microbubbles injected into human circulation, which enhances ultrasound imaging for therapeutic applications. He employs experimental techniques such as laser Doppler velocimetry and particle image velocimetry to gain insights into the fundamental physics of complex flows and complements these studies with mathematical analysis to model and extract valuable information for real-world applications.
