Our research focuses on the physical interplay between soft solids and fluids.
We study how deformation generates fluid motion, and how fluid flow reshapes soft materials, revealing physical principles that extend across systems and scales.
Core Physical Principles
Fluid-reshaping soft system
Fluid-reshaping soft system
We investigate how fluid pressure and flow drive deformation and force generation in soft matter, enabling motion and actuation through material compliance rather than rigid mechanisms.
Elastocapillarity
: coupling between surface tension and elasticity governing shape change and force generation.Soft matter physics
: mechanics and transport in compliant, deformable materials interacting with fluids.
Structure-driven fluid motion
Structure-driven fluid motion
We study how geometry and deformation of soft structures reorganize fluid motion and flow patterns across scales, revealing physically encoded mechanisms for transport, mixing, and control.
Interface dynamics
: deformation, instability, and transport at fluid–solid and fluid–fluid interfacesAcoustofluidics
: vibration- and ultrasound-induced flow generation and transport
Methodology
Our research begins with careful experimentation and multiscale visualization, which guide the development of physics-based models and theoretical understanding of soft, deformable fluid–solid systems.
