Research Areas
My research interests lie in the area of computational heat transfer and fluid dynamics with specific emphasis on noval materials processsing and MEMS devices. The research is aimed to develop high fidelity models for highly complex problems that involves transport phenomena, chemical/electrochemical reactions, phase change and electromagnetic dynamics. Simulation can be used to advance the understanding of the process, to improve the system design and control algorithm, and to develop next generation systems.
