At the in Madrid , alumnus of the 鶹ýƵվ Centre for Nature-Inspired Engineering (CNIE) and now an Assistant Professor at , was invited as a speaker in the memorial session for , where he had the chance to present CNIE technology to top experts in particle technology.

In collaboration with Professor Marc-Olivier Coppens, Dr Francia takes inspiration from the structured granular patterns observed in nature to develop a new type of gas-sold operation, termed “Dynamically Structured Fluidization”. Dynamically structured fluidized beds have drawn the attention of the scientific community for several reasons. Their complex spatiotemporal behaviour has led to the advance of theories describing the powder flow, and their unique ability to mix solids in a fully scalable, homogenous and responsive way, spearheads a new type of low-velocity contact chamber for the optimisation of gas-solid processes in the manufacturing and energy sectors.
