This researcher works on fluid dynamics problems that span engineering and biomedical applications, including how air and water flow around structures like wind turbines, underwater vehicles, mangrove roots, and even airflow through the human trachea. Much of the work combines experiments and computer simulations to understand turbulence, flow separation, and how bio-inspired surface designs (like textured coatings) can control or improve flow behavior. Related projects also touch on renewable energy topics such as wind turbine performance and desalination powered by renewable energy.
Publication output was highest around 2017-2020 and has slowed considerably in recent years, averaging fewer than one publication per year over the last five years.
