Michela Geri leads an interdisciplinary research group focused on addressing industrial and fundamental problems related to energy and environmental issues. Her research emphasizes the interaction of multi-phase materials, which involve the flow and deformation of structured fluids containing solid and fluid constituents. These materials are essential in understanding extreme environmental events, such as soil and mud flows, that exhibit multi-phase characteristics. Geri's work spans the fields of solid and fluid mechanics, rheology, and materials science. Her focus includes developing novel experimental techniques and theoretical continuum models that describe material behavior considering coupled effects. Among the examples of her research interests are the study of suspensions, gas hydrates, hydrogen transport, and methods for carbon dioxide sequestration, along with innovative approaches for slurries and fluidization of earth materials. She has contributed significantly to the advancement of rheological studies and is recognized by her peers for her impactful research.
