I am truly honored and grateful to accept the InterPore PoreLab award for Young Researchers – Chiara Recalcati
Congratulations to Chiara Recalcati on receiving the 2025 InterPore-PoreLab Award for Young Researchers!
Chiara is a postdoctoral researcher at MIPORE group. She obtained a double PhD degree in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (Politecnico di Milano) and Earth Sciences (Université de Lausanne) in 2024. She was awarded the Prix de la Faculté des Geosciences et de l’Environnement (Université de Lausanne) for outstanding PhD thesis (selected amongst 70 PhD thesis).
Chiara says: “My research activity is keyed to the characterization of (geochemical) surface processes taking place during dissolution/precipitation reactions at fluid-mineral interfaces. In this context, I am performing laboratory-scale experimental activities as well as theoretical/modeling analyses and characterization of the observed processes. Laboratory experiments are performed at the nanoscale, taking advantage of modern microscopy features offered by the use of Atomic Force Microscopy imaging. Modeling is based on a stochastic theoretical framework inspired to geostatistics. “
