Hassan Masoud's CV
Masoud joined the department in July 2024. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and completed postdoctoral research under the joint supervision of Michael Shelley (NAS member) at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, and Howard Stone (NAE and NAS member) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. Masoud leads the Complex Fluids and Active Matter Lab, where he and his team employ the tools of applied mathematics and experimental techniques to fundamentally understand the interaction of fluid flows with dynamically changing boundaries across a wide range of lengths and time scales. Their objective is to integrate this fundamental understanding with engineering principles to tackle pressing technological and societal challenges. Dr. Masoud is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and currently serves as an Editorial Board Member and Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Mathematics.
