Profile
My group works on topics at the interface between fluid dynamics and materials science, studied via a combination of small scale experiments and numerical simulations.
Keywords: multiphase flows; complex fluid interfaces; colloidal hydrodynamics
Currently I am particularly interested in the fluid dynamics of graphene, particle sorting by centrifugation, and flow-based methods for battery recycling.
