Description:

We are engaged in COVID19 research, help is needed, please consider giving to our research mission here. For more information visit here. Focusing on the interface of fluid dynamics and epidemiology, the Bourouiba Group, in The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory, aims to elucidate the fundamental physical mechanisms shaping the transmission dynamics of pathogens in human, animal, and plant populations where drops, bubbles, multiphase and complex flows are at the core. Key topics of research in the Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory include:Pathogen-Fluid InteractionInterfacial flows: pathogen-fluid interactions in bubbles, drops and filmsFluid fragmentation and droplet formation leading to air contaminationTurbulence and multiphase flowsMixing, transport, and pathogen deposition and contaminationHydrodynamic instabilities and wavesViscoelastic and biological fluidsHealth, Disease TransmissionContact dynamics and pathogen transportNosocomial diseases, respiratory diseases, waterborne diseases, and foliar diseasesDisease transmission and contamination in indoor environments, including hospitals.We use a combination of theoretical (applied mathematics, including differential equations, linear algebra, nonlinear dynamics, waves and stability) and experimental approaches (flow visualization, high speed imaging techniques, microscopy, image processing) to elucidate the fundamental physical mechanisms of transmission of nosocomial diseases, respiratory diseases, waterborne diseases, and foliar diseases where fluids are ubiquitous and to design and formulate new control strategies.Visit our LAB YouTube Channel (2020) for related materials.Highlight of the research methodology, scope and goals: Openings: Please contact us for inquiry about openings of Postdoc, Graduate student, and internship positions in the group The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory | Bourouiba Group | Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2020 - All content, images and graphics contained within this site are the property of the Bourouiba Group.
