Dr. Andrea Cioncolini
The University of Manchester, UK
ICMFHT'22 Keynote Speaker

I am Reader in Thermal-Hydraulics at the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering of the University of Manchester, UK.

My background is Nuclear Engineering (BSc, MSc, PhD) and Mathematics (MSc), with specialty in nuclear thermal-hydraulics and computational fluid dynamics. My research includes experiments, physical modelling and numerical simulations in thermo-fluids and fluid-structure interactions (flow boiling and multi-phase flow; thermal-hydraulics and corrosion; micro-fluidics; fluid systems transient analysis; flow induced vibration and flexible fluid-structure interaction), and is motivated by demanding cooling applications (nuclear fission reactors, microelectronics, high-energy particle detectors), flow control and small-scale energy harvesting.

After graduating, I worked as Senior Engineer/Scientist for the nuclear vendor Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh-PA, USA, on transient/safety analysis of water-cooled nuclear power plants and on design/testing of small-modular water-cooled nuclear reactor systems. I successively moved to the Laboratory of Heat and Mass Transfer at EPFL (The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland), where I worked as post-doctoral researcher on macro-micro-scale two-phase flow modelling for demanding cooling applications. I joined the University of Manchester in 2013. I am Associate Editor of the Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science (Proc. IMechE), and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Nuclear Engineering.
