Ph.D. Students

Ahmad Dousti

I hold a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tabriz, Iran, and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering specializing in bubble dynamics and fluid dynamics from the University of Tehran, Iran. Expanding my expertise, I pursued a second Master's in Chemical Engineering at Lakehead University/Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, focusing on polymer and soft materials. My passion lies in fluid mechanics, capillary and transport phenomena, and biophysics. Currently, my research centers on biomaterials and complex fluid drying, exploring their interactions with omni-phobic surfaces.

Naumi Noshin

I have accomplished my B.Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in Bangladesh. My undergraduate research focused on three-tube probe pressure sensors and the flow physics surrounding symmetric and asymmetric airfoils. Building on this foundation, I pursued a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where my research delved into Fluid Structure Interaction, specifically exploring Vortex-Induced Vibration, Galloping, and Wake-Induced Vibration. Currently I am pursuing Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah, my research interests are on droplets, interfacial flow, transport phenomena, and high-throughput experimentation and complex fluids. I am committed to advancing my knowledge in Experimental Fluid Dynamics.
