Congratulations to Zenit Lab graduates, Dr.'s @MRavisankar_ and @MaddyFederle ! We did not let the rain get us down and were able to celebrate and enjoy Commencement 2026. After all, rain is a fluid!

Congratulations to Dr. @MaddyFederle , who successfully defended her thesis entitled “Bubble Dynamics and Coalescence: bubble-droplet filtration and microgravity bubble emulsions”!🚀🚀 She has been such a vital part of Zenit Lab during her tenure as a PhD student - Congrats! 🫧

Non-Newtonian knockout! @APSphysics DFD

Speckle-tacular! @APSphysics DFD

Always great to see the success of students passing through our lab. Great talk Sofia Iterbide, undergraduate of @TrinityCollege!

Orr Avni is presenting now! @APSphysics DFD

Huge congrats to the newest PhD from our lab, Dr. @MRavisankar_, on defending his dissertation @brownengin: “Bubbly flows in non-Newtonian fluids and viscous Newtonian fluids.” He’s now a master of all things bubbly and sticky. Next stop: Postdoc at @UniOslo! 🎉 Proud of you!

Unfortunately couldn't make it to ICMF in Toulouse this year, but proud to share that my student @MaddyFederle presented her exciting work on bubble emulsions in microgravity @brownengin. Great to see the next generation pushing boundaries! 🚀🫧 #ICMF2025 #FluidDynamics

The 2025 ENGN 0350/1350 Art Fluids Exhibition @brownengin was a fantastic success! Fountains of light and chocolate, an engineered Eden, campus wind tunnels, and more! Proud of my students for their creativity and hard work! #ArtFluids

This week, @MaddyFederle and I got to test our homogeneous isotropic turbulence chamber in microgravity at @NASAglenn! During the drop, the experiment experiences 2.2 seconds of microgravity, allowing us to study multiphase flows in microgravity. Stay tuned for more🫧 @brownengin

Had a lot of fun teaching physics to some brilliant young minds @SquashBusters. Who says professors can't handle teenagers? (Spoiler: they ask tougher questions than my grad students.) @brownengin

We are all set for the #APSDFD2024! Check out our exciting talks on #bubbles, #drops, #turbulence and some (brain juice) #cerebrospinal flows. @MaddyFederle @MRavisankar_ @brownengin

Another day @brownengin where students compete to maximize drag on badminton shuttles launched from a large air gun. The real challenge? Taking down the reigning champ—me (course tee, cool sunglasses, you know the drill 😎).

Wrapping up an amazing summer @brownengin with our UTRA and high school students! Excited to see all the great things they will achieve in their future endeavours.

Congratulations to Dr. Andres Zambrano on successfully defending his PhD dissertation, 'On the Locomotion of Rigid and Flexible Helical Swimmers in Dilute Suspensions at Low Reynolds Number' @brownengin. He will be joining @prattandwhitney as a Senior Research Engineer. Proud!

After a wonderful semester @brownengin it’s time for some Mezcal tasting and authentic Mexican food!

It's an immense pleasure to make an impact (quite literally) by teaching this amazing course. More about this on @PhysicsToday - doi.org/10.1063/pt.owvc.fjei Very excited to see what my students are cooking for the final exhibit. Join us on May 8th at @brownengin
