Alessandro Lenci

Postdoctoral researcher at the group of hydraulics of the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering (DICAM), University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy. He is a member of the group "Dynamics, Imaging and Modeling of Environmental System" (DIMENV) at Gèosciences Rennes, Rennes, France.

The research activity is focused on the fluid mechanics of shear-thinning fluids (polymers, foams, muds) in geological formations (aquifer, oil and gas reservoirs). The activity involved the analysis of flow and transport in porous fractured media connected with subsurface industrial activities and natural phenomena. The investigation is mainly conducted via numerical modeling, adopting a stochastic approach and the use of metamodeling techniques.
