Research Interest
Current scientific interests cover the fields of rigorous measurement, prediction, correlation and computational simulation of thermophysical properties of gases and liquids, including molten metals, molten salts and ionic liquids, as a function of temperature, pressure and composition, science and technology of instrumentation, linked to the science of materials and thin film sensors. From 2007 his group began studies on thermophysical properties of nanomaterials and nanofluids, with special emphasis on the structure and properties of simple and complex systems, and their applications as fluids
