Research Interests

Prof. Bercovici’s lab is a curiosity-driven lab with core expertise in fluid mechanics and electrokinetics. We are equally interested in understanding basic phenomena associated with the physics and chemistry of fluids as in leveraging this understanding to create new tools and new capabilities across a wide range of applications. Some of our recent contributions are in the fields of advanced manufacturing, freeform optics, in-space manufacturing, microfluidics, and biochemical analysis.
