The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has named Rajat Mittal, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and core faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, as the recipient of the 2021 Freeman Scholar Award. Given annually to a person of significant expertise in fluids engineering, Mittal won the award in recognition […]
In response to the use of a military-grade infrared camera capable of detecting exhaled breath to illustrate the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19, Hopkins mechanical engineer and ICM faculty member Rajat Mittal speaks to the Washington Post about the merits of using exhalation as a conservative proxy to show potential transmission risk in various settings. […]
Four ICM faculty are among the 41 research endeavors that have been selected to receive support this year from Johns Hopkins University’s Discovery Awards program. Each project team is made up of members from at least two JHU entities who aim to solve a complex problem and expand the horizons of knowledge. Altogether, the winning project teams—chosen […]
A paper published in the Physics of Fluids presents a mathematical model to estimate the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19. Co-authored by Rajat Mittal, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, the study provides insights that could help assess how well preventive efforts, like mask […]
Rajat Mittal, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, uses computational simulations to explore air-flow and droplet dispersion to advance the understanding of protections offered by masks against COVID-19. Read more on the HUB.
Rajat Mittal, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and ICM faculty member, is one of three Hopkins researchers to receive a grant from the Human Frontier Science Program. Mittal received the award for his work studying the communicative properties of mosquito movements. Founded by a collective of scientists from around the world, the selective […]
Thirty-two interdisciplinary faculty teams across twelve Johns Hopkins institutions comprise the recipients of the 2019 Discovery Awards. Five of the winning project teams are led by ICM core faculty and a total of six ICM faculty members are awardees. The winning ICM faculty projects are: A Platform for Brain-scale Imaging and Patterned Optogenetics at Cellular […]
An International Journal of Cardiology paper featuring the work of Rajat Mittal, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and core faculty of the Institute for Computational Medicine, shares a new method for predicting those most at risk for blood clots in the heart. The paper titled, The E-wave propagation index (EPI): A novel echocardiographic parameter for prediction of left ventricular […]
Institute for Computational Medicine core faculty members Rajat Mittal, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Joel Bader, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, are among those to receive 2016-2017 Johns Hopkins Discovery Awards, as announced August 8 by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research.
