• During the first year of my Ph.D., I strengthened my knowledge in fluid dynamics by passing courses such as continuum mechanics, advanced surface engineering, optical methods in fluid mechanics, computational methods in porous media, and fluid-particle systems.

• In the second year of my Ph.D., I gained valuable experience in exploiting optical techniques to study low-speed two-phase flow fields, understanding and developing advanced post-processing techniques to analyze PIV/PTV data.

• Currently, Implementing particle image/tracking velocimetry (PIV/PTV) in two/three-dimensions, I am trying to elucidate the intricacies of high-speed two-phase flows with one of the phases cavitating due to huge pressure drops. Chaotic cavitating flows are present in vital applications ranging from micro-scale cancer-therapy technologies to ultrasonic cavitation or nozzle flow in the oil and gas industry.
