RESEARCH

Overview
My research is defined at interface between applied mathematics and engineering. I enjoy discovering new and fundamental flow physics from simplified problems using hydrodynamic stability theories, nonlinear dynamical systems, modern control theories, variational calculus, and scientific computing. My research interests are rather broadly defined and cover

1) Instabilities, transition and turbulence;
2) Nolinear dynamics and pattern formations; 
3) Biological fluid mechanics;

4) Low-dimensional modelling 
5) Optimization & control of fluid flows; 
6) Direct & large eddy simulations
