My primary research interests are micro-scale fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, with applications in soft matter, complex fluids, and biophysics. Current research topics include:
- fundamental and applied studies of fluid interfacial rheology in the context of foams, coatings, and emulsions
- structure, dynamics, and rheology of suspensions with flexible elastic particles
- continuum modeling and engineering of transport in and across vesicular membranes.
