How Inert Phases and Active Matter Shape Mixing and Reactions in Porous Media
Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21st at 16:00 CEST for an exciting talk with Professor Jimenez-Martinez on how inert phases and active matter shape mixing and reactions in porous media.
What Will You Learn?
- 2D and 3D experimental techniques for studying multiphysics in porous media.
- Impact of immiscible phases, either mobile or immobile, on transport processes.
- Interplay between active matter, hydrodynamics, and chemical reactions.
Professor Jimenez-Martinez is leading the Subsurface Environmental Processes group at Eawag (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) and at the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the study of transport, chemical reaction phenomena, and microbial behavior in porous and fractured media, particularly in multiphase systems. He tackles these problems mainly by experiments performed over scales ranging from micromodels to field scale, and blending them with theory and modeling.
