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

Some Current and Recent Collaborators:
