Biography

John A. Gaydos is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. He has a robust academic background with degrees from the University of Toronto, including a B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. His research primarily focuses on various phenomena related to fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, including wetting, spreading, coating behavior of liquids, low Reynolds number fluid mechanics, and the behavior of thin films and surfactants. Dr. Gaydos applies his expertise to measure liquid-fluid surface tension and interfacial energy, analyzing contact angles on patterned surfaces and integrating semiconductor fabrication processes into microfluidic device research. His contributions to applied surface thermodynamics have been documented in several chapters in published books, highlighting generalized theories of capillarity and the thermodynamics of axisymmetric capillary systems.
