Assistant Professor of Engineering

Overview

Mauro Rodriguez Jr. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering in the School of Engineering at Brown University, where he joined the faculty in 2021. He earned his B.S. degree with honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2010, his M.S from Stanford University in 2012, and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2018, all in Mechanical Engineering.  His dissertation focused on high-fidelity computational simulations of bubble dynamics near (linear) viscoelastic media. Prior to joining Brown, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the California Institute of Technology.  Rodriguez’s current research interests are in cavitation bubble dynamics in and near viscoelastic materials. He uses high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics to study wave and bubble dynamics in and near hard/soft materials relevant to energy science, naval engineering, and biomedicine applications.
