Lina Baroudi

Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering

Dr. Baroudi is an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering. Her research focuses on studying multiphase flows encountered in industrial processes and natural phenomena from a fundamental physical perspective through computational modeling and laboratory experiments. She has investigated different physical problems in surface-tension driven flows. A current focus of her work is on developing a mechanistic understanding and predictive ability of the role of inertia in particle-laden flows.
