Aug 2017 - Aug 2019
Three-year independent research fellowship at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, with investigative efforts directed towards the study of nonlinear phenomena in fluid-structure interaction through asymptotic and computational techniques. Topics of interest include interfacial and multi-phase flows, electrohydrodynamics, drop impact, spray atomisation and microfluidics. High-speed flows involving multi-fluid dynamics (drop impingement, water retention on aircraft surfaces… Show more Three-year independent research fellowship at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, with investigative efforts directed towards the study of nonlinear phenomena in fluid-structure interaction through asymptotic and computational techniques. Topics of interest include interfacial and multi-phase flows, electrohydrodynamics, drop impact, spray atomisation and microfluidics. High-speed flows involving multi-fluid dynamics (drop impingement, water retention on aircraft surfaces, the effect of liquid films on flow stability and separation) are also examined. Additional interests include computational acoustics and nonlinear wave propagation, as well as industrial mathematical modelling in a variety of areas. During this period I will also be involved in teaching activities, as well as play an active role within the InFoMM (Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling) Centre for Doctoral Training.
