Company Profile

The Hatsopolous Microfluids laboratory (HML) was created within the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a center for research activities which focus on understanding the dynamics of fluid with microstructure and the emerging science of microfluidics. The HML consists of a single open-plan 6300 ft2 laboratory that houses seven active and three emeritus faculty plus over 45 students and postdoctoral researchers. A broad overview of the principal research areas of faculty members within the laboratory is summarized below: - Optical imaging of complex flows - Rheology and dynamics of complex fluids - Dynamics of thin films - Flow stability - Flow-structure interactions - Flow in microfluidic devices and \'lab-on-a-chip\' applications - Biofluid mechanics and biorheology - Capillary phenomena and contact line dynamics
