Carlos H. Hidrovo - Principal Investigator

Dr. Carlos Hidrovo is an associate professor in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at Northeastern University. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2001. Prior to joining Northeastern, Dr. Hidrovo held professional appointments at MIT, Stanford University, and The University of Texas at Austin. He is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award from the Fluid Dynamics program, a DARPA Young Faculty Award from the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO), and an ASME Robert T. Knapp Award. Dr. Hidrovo research interests lie at the intersection of multiscale and multiphase flow and transport phenomena, surface tension interactions in micro/nanoengineered structures, and electrokinetic ion transport in porous media for applications in energy storage, portable biochemical diagnostics, thermal management, and water treatment systems. He is also actively involved in developing novel imaging and diagnostic tools in these areas.
