Dr. Andrea Santomaso is active in research at the University of Padova where he directs the APTLab (Advanced Particle Technology Laboratory). His research activities cover particulate and multiphase systems and are focused on: - powder mixing/de-mixing problems - wet agglomeration processes - powder mechanics (dense granular flows) - flowability and wettability characterization - on-line characterization. He is member of the EFCE Working Party on the Mechanics of Particulate Solids since 2012.
