My research till now focused on shear-dominated and vortex-driven flows across macro- and microscale regimes. At the macroscale, I investigated vortex rings for targeted engineering applications, including fluid transport, cleaning, and manipulation. At the microscale, I have studied how micro-vortices generated within droplet-based microfluidic platforms exert mechanical stresses on encapsulated living matter. Together, these studies span multiphase flows, droplet dynamics, vortex–matter interactions, and fluid phenomena across diverse spatial and temporal scales.
Looking ahead, I am interested in pursuing two distinct research directions:
First, I am interested in investigating how fluid flows influence small-scale living systems, particularly how hydrodynamic forces and mechanical stresses affect their behaviour and dynamics using microfluidics as a tool.
Second, I aim to explore multiphase turbulence, with a focus on understanding the complex interactions between dispersed phases and turbulent flow structures.
