In June 2026, Nicolò Varallo joined the AURIGA project as a post-doctoral researcher on gas–liquid fluid dynamics and mass transfer, the first of the post-doctoral appointments foreseen by the project.
His role sits at the junction of the two experimental scales of the project. At the bubble scale, he contributes to the image-based characterization of single bubbles and bubble swarms, with particular attention to hydrodynamics and mass-transfer mechanisms; at the reactor scale, he supports the large-diameter column experiments and the interpretation of optical-probe and wire-mesh measurements. His work focuses on connecting these local observations to the global hydrodynamics and mass-transfer behaviour of the column.
