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 😎).
