Dr. Font’s primary training is in the development and application of mathematical models in a cross-disciplinary setting. He works at the interface between mathematics, physics and engineering. To date, he has worked on topics such as lithium-ion batteries, nanoscale heat transfer and phase change, capture of contaminants and cell motility and pattern formation. He has made significant contributions on the formulation and analysis of mathematical models describing phase change phenomena. The research developed in this topic has contributed towards our understanding of phase change at the limits of continuum theory. Currently, his research interests have expanded towards using mathematics to tackle environmental challenges. In particular, he is very interested in the formulation of mathematical models describing transport phenomena in porous media for applications such as capture of CO2 from the atmosphere or in the storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides for green energy production technologies.
