Research Interests
My research interests lie in the mathematical modeling and computer simulations of problems arising in soft active matter and biological physics. In particular, my work focuses in exploring hydrodynamic and chemotactic interactions of active particle systems, as well as their emergent dynamics in complex flows and various confinements. I work closely with experimentalists to build computational models that are used to elucidate phenomena such as the self-assembly and guided transport of micro-scale colloids or the collective behavior of micro-swimmers.
