Professor Dr. Sarah Hormozi

Biography

Sarah Hormozi received her M.Sc. in Mathematics and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2011. She completed a prestigious Canadian postdoctoral fellowship sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and subsequently joined Ohio University in 2014 as an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering, where she was promoted to Associate Professor in 2019. In 2020, she moved to the Department of Chemical Engineering at Cornell University. Hormozi serves on the advisory boards of several journals, including Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics and Physics of Fluids. Her broad research interests encompass fluid mechanics and rheology of complex slurries, including suspensions of non-Brownian particles and their applications in both natural phenomena, such as landslides and mudslides, and industrial processes, such as biomass fuel conversion and drug delivery. Hormozi applies advanced computational techniques and lab-scale experiments to tackle the challenges of nonlinear rheology and the interactions between fluids and particles.
