Research

I joined the Biomechanics and Bioengineering laboratory (BMBI) in October 2015 as CNRS Researcher, where I started a new topic of research on “Targeted drug delivery with bio-artificial capsules”. My principal research activity is focused on studying the physics of complex fluids, soft matter and biomedical systems. In particular, I am interested in phenomena occurring at the microscopic scale and involving fluid-structure interaction, mass and/or heat transfer. I am using and constantly developing state-of-the-art numerical methods to perform multi-physics computer simulations. I am interested in problems involving interactions between different components of a given system, for which I study the complex dynamical behavior while tracking the nonlinear causes and effects relationship between its different components.
