Applied Mathematics
I am the PI of the FMNST Lab — Fluid Mechanics and Small-scale Transport Lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute focused on microfluidics experiments. My research interests include small scale fluid dynamics and particle and solute transport with applications in water filtration and microfluidics.
My work is interdisciplinary and usually involves analytical, numerical, and experimental components. Depending on the topic and collaboration, each research project foregrounds mathematical modeling, code development, or experimental investigations alone or in combination.
