Madhu received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from The City College of New York in 2017 where he studied the dynamics of fluid-particle suspensions in inertial flows under the advice of Professor Jeffrey Morris. Before coming to MIT, he worked as a postdoctoral scholar in Professor Eric Shaqfeh’s group at Stanford University where he studied the deposition of inhaled particles (to simulate aerosols and viruses) in the airways of humans and primates. He joined as a Postdoctoral Associate in Professor James Swan’s group at MIT in 2019 and focused his research efforts on the microstructure and rheology of rough suspensions and colloidal gels under shear flow. His current work focuses on integrating complex fluids and electrochemical engineering to develop suspension electrolytes for redox flow batteries.
