Wenqiao Jiao
PhD candidate
I started my PhD at the University of Lausanne in 2021. I am involved in a cotutelle PhD program in Politecnico di Milano. My current research is mainly focused on the relationship between the porous medium structure and its permeability. I study the impact of the spatial variability of the medium pore size on the overall flow through numerical simulations and microfluidics experiments based on time-lapse video-microscopy.
Expertise in:
- Modeling permeability dynamics in porous systems subject to reactions (e.g., biofilm growth, mineral dissolution)
- Simulation of fluid flow in porous media
- Environmental microfluidics
