Biography

My research interests lie in the general area of flow physics, flow control, and advanced flow diagnosis techniques. I leverage on the fundamental understanding of flow phenomena to develop novel flow control systems to address the challenges in the broad area of energy, sustainability, and bio-medical devices. My current research focus is on turbulent flow, interfacial flow, and bio-inspired propulsion.

Special fields of knowledge: 

  • Experimental fluid dynamics
  • Flow physics
  • Advanced flow diagnosis
  • Turbulent flow control and drag reduction
  • Multi-phase flow (free-surface flow)
  • Bio-medical devices
Engineering Unit(s)
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering
