Bruno V. Guerrero is an experimental and computational physicist with a scientific background in granular matter, far-from-equilibrium statistical physics and non-linear dynamics, and with teaching experience in physics and biostatistics. He holds a B.Sc. from the University of Los Andes (Venezuela), an M.Sc. in Physics from the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), and completed his Ph.D. in 2021 at the University of Navarra (Spain), as part of the doctorate program in Complex Systems. After his Ph.D., Bruno joined the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) as Research Technician, and served as researcher and representative for BCAM’s Knowledge Transfer Unit. In November 2024, he took on a new position as Postdoctoral Researcher in the CFD-MS group, under the leadership of Dr. Marco Ellero.
His research has focused on granular phenomena, emphasizing practical applications in industry and everyday life. By combining Lab experiments and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations, he has investigated the dynamics of driven disordered systems and transport processes in confined geometries, particularly partition instability and granular flow through pipes and constrictions. He has also contributed to developing bio-mathematical models and deterministic-stochastic simulation frameworks to study infectious diseases, mainly on vector-borne diseases. Currently, as part of his postdoctoral research, he is involved in the application of agent- and particle-based computational models to analyze pedestrian dynamics in crowded urban settings and the spread of pathogens in healthcare facilities, with the aim of guiding strategic city planning and public health management.
