Short bio
Pablo Peñas López holds a M. Eng. in Aerospace and Aerothermal Engineering (2012) from the University of Cambridge. He then completed a Master M2 in Fluid Mechanics (2013) at Université Pierre et Marie Curie. He recently obtained a PhD in Fluid Mechanics (2017) at UC3M under the supervision of Javier Rodríguez and Miguel A. Parrales. During this time he did a 6-month research stay at the Physics of Fluids Group in the University of Twente. His PhD thesis concerns the diffusion-driven mass transfer between quasi-static bubbles and liquids.
Currently he is trying to understand the nature of buoyant bubble plumes in supersaturated liquids.
