معرفی
Outi Supponen is an Assistant Professor of Multiphase Fluid Dynamics at ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, leading the Institute of Fluid Dynamics since 2020. She holds a MEng in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London (2013) and a DSc in Mechanics from EPFL (2017). Prior to ETH, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado (2018–2019) and an Assistant Professor at McGill University (2019).
- Education:
- MEng, Aeronautical Engineering, Imperial College London (2013)
- DSc, Mechanics, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2017)
Her research focuses on experimental investigations of high-speed multiphase fluid phenomena, with applications in biomedical engineering, material science, and hydraulic machinery. Key areas include cavitation bubble dynamics, ultrasound-driven microbubble behavior, and fluid-structure interactions in medical and industrial contexts.
Her work bridges fundamental fluid dynamics with practical applications, such as targeted drug delivery via microbubble jetting and kidney stone fragmentation mechanisms. She collaborates extensively with biomedical and engineering communities, leveraging advanced imaging techniques like X-ray phase-contrast and high-speed visualization.
- Grants & Advising: Supervises research on multiphase systems and collaborates on EU-funded projects on medical fluid dynamics.
- Labs/Teams: Leads the Fluid Dynamics Group at ETH, specializing in advanced experimental setups for high-speed fluid phenomena.
