Research InterestsI’m using theory and computations to understand problems in which nonlinearities and multiple length scales give rise to complex behaviour. The problems bring together ideas and theory from a variety of disciplines in science and engineering.
- Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics
- Numerical Simulation
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Rheology of Complex Fluids
- Computational Material Science
Current Research Work
- Simulation of Visco-Elastic Lubrication
- Multi-scale Process Modeling of Liquid Crystalline Materials
- Biofluid Mechanics
- Simulation of industrial processing flows
