Congratulations to Nicholas Kwok for successfully defending his thesis AND matching in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles! We wish Nicholas all the best in his future endeavors!

Meet our FLOW Editors In this month’s video, you can find out more about Professor Lydia Bourouiba of MIT, Associate Editor for Flow. She tells us about her research interests and her passions and why we launched Flow, a sister open access title to the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. If you have suitable work, please do…

Prof. Bourouiba co-leads, with Prof. Nina Fefferman, Prof. James Moody, and Prof. Yannis Paschalidis the NSF Workshop on Predicting Pandemic Emergence, as part of the Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) initiative. Join us Feb 25 and 26 2021.

Congratulations to Yongji Wang for successfully submitting his doctoral thesis and graduating with a PhD from the Bourouiba Lab! We wish Yongji the best of luck in his future endeavors!

Professor Bourouiba sat down with Zach Goodale (MIT School of Engineering) for a 3Q session to share insights gained from her research over the past year.

Bourouiba and colleagues 2020 contributions among most viewed articles and videos of the year in relation to efforts throughout this challenging time to help with educating the public and policy makers and raise awareness of avenues for science-based mitigation and control of COVID19:

Prof. Bourouiba featured in the first episode of Perspectives, a Steelcase video series with peer-to-peer conversations on how COVID-19 has impacted work and the workplace. In this first episode, Prof. Bourouiba, discusses with Steelcase CEO Jim Keane about what we know today on mitigating disease transmission at work.

Prof. Bourouiba gives invited plenary talk at APS-DFD.
