Isaac Jackiw

Isaac Jackiw serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on fluid mechanics of multiphase flows with industrial applications in agricultural spraying and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Education:

• Postdoctoral associate & NSERC fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 2023
• Ph.D., University of Toronto, 2019-2022
• M.A.Sc., McMaster University, 2016-2018
• B.Eng., McMaster University, 2012-2016

Research Focus: Dr. Jackiw investigates atomization of complex fluids including emulsions, suspensions, and visco-elastic fluids. His work develops analytical tools for real-time control of industrial spray processes to reduce waste and improve efficiency in pesticide applications (reducing drift), snow making enhancement, and pharmaceutical spray-drying for particle manufacturing.

Publication Trends: His 2021-2023 publications in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics establish foundational models for aerodynamic droplet breakup and size distribution prediction. These works bridge theoretical fluid dynamics with practical industrial applications, demonstrating consistent focus on multiphase flow mechanics and atomization physics.

Scientific Recognition:
