• Multiphase flows: modeling, simulation, experimental analysis and  Chemical Engineering applications (bubble columns, "sprays", extraction, distillation, direct contact evaporation, reactors, particle systems, etc.).
• Flows of complex fluids: modeling, simulation, experimental analysis and  Chemical Engineering applications (polymerization reactors, devolatilizers, extruders, mixers), integration of CFD with rheometry.
• Numerical methods: development and application to CFD problems, applied thermodynamics and population balance models.
• Transport phenomena: modeling, simulation and experimental analysis of particle breakage and aggregation, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, flow in porous media, combustion and thermal radiation, etc.
