Silvana Cardoso is a Portuguese fluid dynamicist working in Britain. She is professor of Fluid Mechanics and the Environment at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. She leads the Fluids and the Environment research group[1] at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.

Her research focuses on fluid mechanics and environmental science, in particular the interaction of natural convection and chemical kinetics including

She is on the International Advisory Panel[2] of the journal Chemical Engineering Science and the Editorial Board[3] of Chemical Engineering Journal.

In 2016 she was awarded the Davidson medal of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).[4]

Recent press interest in her work has included pieces on whether natural geochemical reactions can delay or prevent the spreading of carbon dioxide in subsurface aquifers used for carbon capture and storage,[5] the possible melting of oceanic methane hydrate deposits owing to climate change,[6] and the importance to astrobiology of brinicles on Jupiter's moon, Europa.[7]
