I work on fluid dynamics problems involving droplets and thin films, with a focus on phase change, mass transport, and free-surface flows. My research combines asymptotic analysis, analytical methods, and numerical techniques to develop and solve reduced-order models describing complex, multiscale fluid systems arising in physics, biology, and engineering.

Upcoming and recent research dissemination activities - 2026
15th September 2026
I recently gave a talk on lubricated viscous gravity currents at MFM's first iteration in the UK. In two parts I discussed how self-similar and travelling-wave flow regimes can help us to understand flow dynamics relevant to various geophysical and industrial applications.
8th September 2026
At UK Fluids in Leeds, I got a chance to present some recent work on the effect of capillary forces on lubricated viscous gravity currents down an inclined plane, with a focus on how capillary effects vary with fluid dissimilarity.
My talk was part of an interesting session on free surface and multiphase flow, in which Prof. Stephen Wilson presented some of our joint work on particle deposition from an evaporating droplet with a moving contact line.
