Born in Rome, Leonardo Caciolla holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome.
His research focuses on the diffuse interface model for simulating phase transitions in micro- and nanodroplets, with a particular interest in convective phenomena and the influence of substrate properties on droplet dynamics. These processes play a fundamental role in cooling, coating, and inkjet printing technologies.
