CEE Assistant Professor Lydia Bourouiba, a physical applied mathematician working on fluid dynamics and mathematical modeling of disease transmission, has been named an Associate Faculty Member of MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science. This group unites researchers from MIT, industry and hospitals in research and education efforts at the nexus of engineering, science, and clinical medicine to advance human health. She describes her research as focusing on “understanding the dynamics of disease transmission at the mesoscale (person to person or indoor environment), filling the gap between research on small scale microbiology and research on large scale population epidemiology.” See the IMES website: https://imes.mit.edu
