Hatsopoulos Microfluids Laboratory Students Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts

The HML has approximately 30 graduate students doing research in it at any given time. The breadth of fields is immense, from classic fluid mechanics to computational fluid dynamics to many projects involved in bio-engineering. Students come from across the world to study in this lab, at both the master's and doctoral level. Here is an alphabetical list of the current students, as well as some of our recent graduates.
