José Pedro de Santana Neto is a doctoral candidate at the University of Geneva and an active member of the High-Performance Fluid Simulation (HPFS) group. His research primarily centers around the applications of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in the context of suspension flows. His work is particularly focused on the seamless integration of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) with LBM, enabling comprehensive simulations that capture intricate particle-fluid interactions as well as particle-particle interactions.
