My research interests are in the area of applied and computational mathematics. My work often relies on the use of mathematical modeling to describe a physical problem of interest and the use of theoretical and numerical techniques to obtain deeper understanding of the problem and obtaining the solution. I have always been fascinated by interdisciplinary research studies which fosters my strongly held belief that the use of advanced mathematics should benefit other related fields of study. As an applied mathematician, I enjoy working with applied and computational problems of high interest in the scientific community and the general population. My research area and interests have links to three main active computational projects: phase field modeling, electrically driven jets, and blood flow modeling. I am also interested in designing better teaching strategies for under-represented groups.
