Lluís Jofre Cruanyes has a doctoral degree in Fluid Mechanics from the UPC. He is a Beatriz Galindo Professor at the Department of Fluid Mechanics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), the director of Fluid Science and Engineering Research Group (GReCEF) of the UPC and the principal investigator at the Multiscale Fluid Mechanics Lab. He was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University's Center for Turbulence Research (USA) and a predoctoral researcher at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Sweden).
As a professor of the UPC's Department of Fluid Mechanics, he teaches on bachelor's and master's degrees at the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE) and also collaborates with the Terrassa School of Industrial, Aerospace and Audiovisual Engineering (ESEIAAT). He directs research on topics related to multiscale fluid mechanics, data science, model reduction, uncertainty quantification and computational engineering, with applications in advanced energy systems, propulsion and transport, biomedicine and manufacturing technology.
Since 2022, he has been the principal investigator of the ERC Starting Grant project Turbulence-on-a-Chip: Supercritically Overcoming the Energy Frontier in Microfluidics (SCRAMBLE). The project focuses on achieving turbulent flow regimes in microfluidic conditions using supercritical fluids. The scientific knowledge gained will be used to propose and design microfluidic systems that are highly improved from an energy point of view.
