Her research interests include studying surface-tension-driven flows, particle-laden flows, and developing predictive models using advanced computational methods like Lattice Boltzmann (LB), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and parallel high-performance computing. She has contributed to understanding Taylor-Couette flow dynamics, bubble rising mechanics, and droplet coalescence phenomena.

Dr. Baroudi has been awarded prestigious fellowships including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Graduate Fellowship (2015-2016), MRSEC PREM Fellowship (2011-2015), and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2009-2010). Her work bridges fundamental fluid dynamics with industrial and nuclear engineering applications.

She teaches courses such as Engineering Mathematics, Applied Heat Transfer, and Finite Element Analysis. Her lab focuses on multiphase flow modeling and high-performance computing, collaborating with ASME, APS, and other professional societies.
