Lydia Bourouiba is a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She leads the Fluid Dynamics Disease Transmission Laboratory and is a co-leader of the Fluids Health Network. Prof. Bourouiba completed her PhD at McGill University, where she focused on wave-turbulence in geophysical flows. Her research spans fundamental and applied questions in fluid physics and biophysics, emphasizing the interactions between physical and biological mechanisms in health and environmental contexts. Her recent work involves the dynamics of unsteady fluid fragmentation, droplets, bubbles, and phase transitions, particularly as they relate to public health issues such as the transmission of infectious diseases. She has received numerous awards for her mentoring and contributions to science, including the Ole Madsen Mentoring Award and recognition as a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
