Research
My research interests concern adoption of computer modeling and experimental techniques to enhance the fundamental understanding of microscopic multiphase flows and advanced manufacturing process (3D printing and advanced composites manufacturing). My research work spans a wide range of mechanical engineering including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Multiphase Flows, Porous Media Flow, Microfluidics, Additive Manufacturing, and Manufacturing Process for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites.
