Chiara Recalcati
Postdoc
I am a postdoctoral researcher at MIPORE group. I obtained a double PhD degree in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (Politecnico di Milano) and Earth Sciences (Université de Lausanne) in 2024. I was awarded the Prix de la Faculté des Geosciences et de l’Environnement (Université de Lausanne) for outstanding PhD thesis (selected amongst 70 PhD thesis). I was awarded the Best Poster Award in the context of the Workshop CS3@DICA (Advanced Computing and Big Data; Politecnico di Milano, 2021).
My research activity is keyed to the characterization of (geochemical) surface processes taking place during dissolution/precipitation reactions at fluid-mineral interfaces. In this context, I am performing laboratory-scale experimental activities as well as theoretical/modeling analyses and characterization of the observed processes. Laboratory experiments are performed at the nanoscale, taking advantage of modern microscopy features offered by the use of Atomic Force Microscopy imaging. Modeling is based on a stochastic theoretical framework inspired to geostatistics.
Expertise in:
- Atomic Force Microscopy imaging
- Geostatistical modeling of hydrogeological quantities
-
Environmental microfluidics
