Biography

Arturo's studies at Technical University of Berlin focused on continuum thermodynamics, energy technology, and numerical methods. His thesis explored possible approaches to numerically solve the Folgar–Tucker equation for orientation tensor. His PhD research focuses on understanding and applying the role of microscopic fluctuations in the macroscopic relaxation properties of materials. His work involves rheological measurements and the development of numerical algorithms based on Stochastic Differential Equations for complex materials. In 2022, he served as a Teaching Assistant for a course on Transport Phenomena, assisting in reshaping the curriculum for Master's and Bachelor's students who were working on research projects coming from numerical and experimental backgrounds.
