P. Ewen King-Smith studies the eye's tear film, the thin layer of fluid that coats and protects the surface of the eye, using mathematical and computational models. His work focuses on understanding how tears evaporate and how fluid moves across the ocular surface, which relates to conditions like dry eye and contact lens comfort. This research combines eye science (ophthalmology) with applied mathematics and fluid modeling.
