Pier Luca received the Weissenberg Award @ICR2023

Pier Luca received the Weissenberg Award 2023 at the International Rheology Conference 2023 in Athens with the following citation:

“For contributing to a fundamental understanding of particle migration in viscoelastic fluids, also leading to the development of useful micro-rheological devices.
For developing simple and successful models for the rheology of dilute blends of immiscible fluids.”

He gave a plenary lecture entitled “Microfluidics of noncolloidal rigid particles in viscoelastic fluids” chaired by Nino Grizzuti.
