Current
Research Activities:
Much of my current research is motivated by different aspects
of numerical and computation of fluid/fluid and fluid/structure
interaction problems. These problems arise in the study of many
physical and biological phenomena, such as ocean-atmosphere
interaction and modeling of blood or mucus flows in elastic
membranes. Areas of current projects are:
- Undergraduate research in applied and computational mathematics
- Finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics
- Numerical methods for viscoelastic fluids
- Numerical methods for fluid/fluid and fluid/structure
interaction
- Computation of solubility parameters for polymers
- Solving large sparse linear systems with dense rows
