Welcome

I am a postdoc in fluid mechanics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.

My current research interests are at the intersection of complex fluids and active matter. Specifically, I study dense particle suspensions, i.e., fluids containing a large amount of active or inactive particles, to understand how hydrodynamic interactions between individual particles affect their collective motion and the bulk fluid properties. My training is in computational fluid dynamics and I study active matter problems mainly via detailed numerical simulations.

Active matter are not only of fundamental physical interest but also have many potential applications in energy, sustainability, and health. My goal is to contribute to the understanding and development of active matter using rigorous hydrodynamic theories and advanced numerical algorithms.
