Moreno Chaparro, Nicolas
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at BCAM, and my research focuses on the flow simulation of colloids of different shapes in micro- and nanochannels. I use different mesoscale methods such as smoothed dissipative particle dynamics, SDPD. I am also investigating the multiscale modeling of celullar flows, where the advection-diffusion-reaction process take place.
I worked previously as postdoctoral fellow at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in the Mathematics, Mechanics, and Materials group. I investigated the hierarchical assembly of triblock copolymers into patchy nanoparticles, and also studied the flow behavior of simple and Möbius ring-like objects (https://vimeo.com/307164022).
I obtained my Ph.D. from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Environmental Science and Engineering investigating the formation of isoporous membranes. I studied theoretical and computationally the self-assembly of diblock copolymers in solution. I received my bachelor and master degree in Chemical Engineering from National University of Colombia modeling the aggregation of glycoproteins mucins. My research has been focused on the modeling of soft matter (biological and synthetic polymers), mainly at mesoscale with DPD and continuum with finite elements. I have studied the interplay between kinetics and thermodynamics in the assembly of soft materials.
