I am a fluid dynamicist with interest in mathematical and computational modeling to solve complex fluid dynamics problems that have the potential to impact our day-to-day lives. As an engineer by training, I enjoy applying mathematics and physics to creatively solve problems that sit at the intersection between engineering application and fundamental science. My guiding research principle is striving to understand the fundamental physical problem to better inform mathematical models and computational methods. My research portfolio focuses on air-water interface flows interacting with turbulent fields (i.e. breaking waves). Since joining UNC, I have been broadening this effort into multiscale modeling of biofluids.
