Prof. Troian directs the Laboratory of Interfacial and Small Scale Transport {LIS2T} in Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology. She specializes in both fundamental and application driven studies involving interface mediated transport of mass, momentum, heat and light in micro- and nanoscale liquidic systems. Fluidic structures and films confined to very small dimensions manifest exceedingly large surface to volume ratios. They are therefore highly responsive to spatiotemporal control by surfaces and boundary forces. Extensive theoretical analysis and experimental work, augmented by advanced computer simulations spanning continuum to molecular scales, has generated in-depth understanding of the highly nonlinear response which characterizes progression of changes in shape and motion in many such systems. Current projects include hydrodynamic modeling relevant to (i) remote control of structure formation in thin films utilizing patterned electrohydrodynamic, thermocapillary and Marangoni surface forces, (ii) thermal transfer and phonon propagation across structured or layered liquid/solid interfaces for enhancing thermal coupling in high power density chip applications, and (iii) electrified flow on structured substrates for space micropropulsion applications.
 
Dr. Troian holds a B.A. in Physics from Harvard University (1980) and an M.S. (1984) and PhD in Physics (1987) from the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University. From 1987-89, she was a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Condensed Matter Physics Group at Exxon Research & Engineering Co. In 1989, she received an International Chateaubriand Research Fellowship for study at the Collège de France in Paris with Prof. P. G. de Gennes (1991 Nobel Laureate in Physics). Dr. Troian rejoined Exxon Research & Engineering Co. in the fall of 1990 as a Staff Physicist and from 1991-1993 also served as Industrial Consulting Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. In 1993, Dr. Troian joined Princeton University where she taught and conducted research for 13 years as a faculty member in the Departments of Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics. She joined the California Institute of Technology in the fall of 2006 as Professor of Applied Physics, Aerospace, and Mechanical Engineering.
 
Dr. Troian is recipient of several awards including a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Initiation Award (1994), an NSF Career Award (1996), an NSF POWRE award (1999), the François N. Frenkiel Award from the American Physical Society (1999), Engineering Council Award for Excellence in Teaching from Princeton University (1999), Moore Distinguished Scholar award from the California Institute of Technology (2004 - 05) and Caltech's ASCIT Teaching Award from the Academics and Research Committee (2009). In 2005, Dr. Troian was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in recognition of her work on interfacial instabilities and related phenomena in micro- and nanofluidic systems.
 
Dr. Troian has also provided service and technical advice to a number of editorial, executive and advisory boards including the Defense Sciences Research Council (DARPA), Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluids, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (Santa Barbara, CA), Microdevices Laboratory of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena, CA), Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation (Göttingen, Germany) and Society of Engineering Science, Inc. Since 2000, Dr. Troian has also served as technical consultant and expert witness for litigation requiring expertise in hydrodynamic and fluid dynamical phenomena in small scale systems.
