(equivalent to BEng plus MEng) and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, with specialty in nuclear thermal-hydraulics. Successively, he completed a MSc in Mathematics at the University of Pavia (Italy), with specialty in computational fluid dynamics.<\/p><p>After graduating, he started his career as Senior Engineer\/Scientist for the nuclear vendor Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh (USA), where he worked on transient\/safety analysis of water-cooled nuclear power plants and on the thermal-hydraulic design\/testing of small-modular water-cooled nuclear reactor systems. Successively, he moved to the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg (Sweden) and then to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne (Switzerland), where he spent six years working as Post-Doctoral Researcher on macro-micro-scale two-phase flow modelling for demanding cooling applications (nuclear fission\/fusion reactors, microelectronics systems, and high-energy physics particle detectors). He joined the University of Manchester (UK) in 2013 as Lecturer in Thermal-Hydraulics, and was successively promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2018 and then to Reader in 2021. He joined the Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Shantou (China) in 2022 as Associate Professor.<\/p><p>He has been associated with over USD18M research funding (USD570k as personal credit) and has been PI in two research grants funded by EPSRC-Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (UK). He has authored\/coauthored 1 book, 2 book chapters, and over 100 refereed papers in journals and conferences. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science (Proc. IMechE) since 2020.<\/p><p>He has taught Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Advanced Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Numerical Methods in Heat Transfer, Introduction to Scientific and Engineering Calculations, and Probability and Statistics in Mechanical Engineering. He is Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK) since 2018, and he has supervised 7 PhDs to completion and over 20 MSc Theses.<\/p><p>His research interests include experimental and computational thermo-fluid dynamics, convective flow boiling and multiphase flows, flow-induced vibrations and fluid-structure interactions.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1972\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Research Interests<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1972\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1972\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li>Thermal-hydraulics;<\/li><li>Multiphase Flows;<\/li><li>Convective flow boiling;<\/li><li>Microfluidics;<\/li><li>Flow-induced vibrations;<\/li><li>Fluid-structure interactions<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1973\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Representative Publications<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1973\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1973\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Cioncolini, S.
