About
Matteo is an applied mathematician working on flow and transport in complex materials: soils, rocks, filters, batteries and peatlands. He builds mathematical models across scales, analyses them, and turns them into open-source simulation tools, mostly in OpenFOAM. He leads the MultiForm group (Multiscale Fluid Dynamics and Porous Media) and coordinates the MATHPEAT network on the mathematics of peatlands.
He joined Nottingham in 2017, after a Zeeman Lectureship at the University of Warwick and postdoctoral positions at UT Austin, KAUST and Politecnico di Torino, where he obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering.
News, research, software and PhD opportunities are on his personal website.
Teaching
He teaches first-year calculus and mathematics for scientists and engineers, applied mathematics and differential equations, and at postgraduate level scientific computing and multiscale modelling. He likes courses where students build a model, solve it, and check that the answer makes sense.
