PhD Student
Hællæ! I am a doctoral student at NTNU, supervised by Erika, with help from Ignacio Pagonabarraga and Daan Frenkel. My project is mainly focused on understanding the colloidal Drying Patterns that Ilaria found in the lab, using techniques from image analysis, the Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) technique and with Lattice-Boltzmann simulations. These are all central techniques to understand soft matter, and I aim to adapt them to study small porous systems towards the end of my PhD.
I did my MSc-thesis on simulating yield stress fluids in porous media, also in the PoreLab centre, supervised by Alex Hansen and Laurent Talon. In this work, we tested a new boundary condition to impose a fixed flow rate in a pore-network simulation of a Bingham fluid, and showed you could predict the full flow field with the simple Dijkstra algorithm through the network. The thesis can be found here, and is summarised in this paper in Phys. Rev. Fluids.
I am mainly trained as a computational physicist, but I enjoy doing the occasional experiment as well.
