The Micro/Nanoscale Fluid Transport Laboratory is housed in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Research activities focus on fundamental and practical aspects of fluid transport, especially at length scales ranging from a few microns down to the nanometer level. Both experimental and theoretical aspects of fluid dynamic phenomena are investigated. The laboratory, which occupies 2200 sq. ft. of floor space, is co-directed by Prof. C. M. Megaridis and Prof. A. L. Yarin, who jointly supervise several graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. A broad overview of the principal research areas pursued within the laboratory is summarized below:
