The NSF CAREER Award, one of the foundation's most prestigious honors for early-career faculty, provides $548,708 over five years to support Jain's project to advance the understanding and prediction of gas-liquid flows, the complex interactions between liquids and gases that influence natural phenomena and critical engineering systems.

“The NSF CAREER Award is especially meaningful to me because it provides an opportunity to pursue a long-term research vision aimed at fundamentally advancing our understanding of complex multiphase flows,” Jain said. “Getting the award in my first attempt is a validation of the importance of the scientific questions we are pursuing and the potential impact of the work. It also reflects the support of my students, collaborators, mentors, and colleagues at Georgia Tech, who helped create an environment where interdisciplinary ideas can thrive.”
