FRANCISCO CRUZ-MAZO is currently an Associate Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), where he teaches fluid mechanics courses and researches both theoretically and experimentally on the fluid dynamics of interfacial flows at the micro- and nanoscale in his Complex Fluids Lab in the Department of Mechanical, Chemical, and Industrial Design Engineering at Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería y Diseño Industrial (ETSIDI). We are always open to exploring opportunities for collaboration. Just reach out!

Short-bio
PhD in Fluid Mechanics from Univ. Sevilla, Spain (Physics of Fluids and Microfluidics group) with research stays at DESY, Germany (Coherent Imaging Group). Then, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University, USA (Complex Fluids Group) with a postdoctoral Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship.
Research
Fundamental research in micro/nano fluidics and interfacial fluid phenomena to facilitate innovative solutions to address pressing challenges in various fields like hydrogen technology as a TE4S group member; biotechnology and drug delivery; soft robotics; among others.
Teaching
Course of Fluid Mechanics “Mecánica de Fluidos” in the Degrees of Chemical Engineering and Electronics Engineering. The course “Finite element-based simulation model for fluid dynamics” is also offered in the Degree of Engineering Design and Product Development and in the International Semester.
