Biography

Osman Basaran is the Kathryn Gedge Professor and Academic Director of the Purdue Process Safety Assurance Center at Purdue University's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering. His research interests include motivated applications of inkjet printing, separations, and production of emulsions and dispersions, as well as a focus on double-emulsions and drop-wise manufacturing processes. His work utilizes a balanced approach that integrates computation, theory, and experimental techniques to tackle fundamental issues that address practical problems in fluid physics. He is particularly known for his research on pinch-off singularities, high-accuracy computations, and ultra high-speed visualization techniques that probe fluid physics at the interface within breakup situations. Current projects encompass microfluidics and novel drop-on-demand methods, and he is also investigating electrically-driven separations and complex dripping phenomena. Furthermore, he pursues research on drop impact and pattern formation through theoretical and computational frameworks, enhancing ultra high-speed imaging tools to improve data acquisition for his experimental endeavors. Basaran's commitment to education includes mentoring graduate students in his research group.
