Research Interests
I am interested in
scientific computing
and
fluid mechanics
. Currently my research focuses on the numerical simulation of moving contact lines.
Numerical Methods

Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method for moving boundary problems (including free surface flows).
Physical Problems
Particle-bubble interaction
Magnetic drug targeting
Drop/bubble dynamics in complex fluids (e.g., viscoelastic liquids and liquid crystals)
Polymer foaming
Polymer coextrusion
Moving contact line
Microfluidics
Biofluids
Water transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells
Shock wave dynamics
Combustion in supersonic flows
