Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on developing quantitative models for novel questions and unexplained phenomena in a broad range of physical systems. Currently, I am inspired by mathematical problems found in biology, soft matter and industry,
encompassing areas in
small-scale and biological fluid mechanics
solid mechanics and elasticity
transport phenomena
mathematical biology
pattern formation.
I use a combination of analytical derivations, asymptotic analysis, numerical computations and empirical investigation in
animal fertilization and sperm motility
flagellar dynamics
self-organization and molecular motors dynamics
cytoskeletal filaments and filament bundles
synthetic propellers and bio-inspired swimmers
membrane separation processes
interfacial flows.
