Lydia Bourouiba is an expert in fluid dynamics and disease transmission. Her research focuses on elucidating the fundamental physical mechanisms that shape the transmission dynamics of pathogens in human, animal, and plant populations. With a Ph.D. from McGill University, her work employs both theoretical and experimental approaches to address significant issues in public health, particularly regarding nosocomial, respiratory, and waterborne diseases. Bourouiba’s laboratory investigates a range of key topics, including pathogen-fluid interactions, turbulence in multiphase flows, and the physical principles underlying droplet formation and dispersion in various environments. She is known for her pioneering contributions to the understanding of fluid dynamics in relation to disease transmission and the development of effective control strategies.
