Short CV Presentation

My research interests focus on transport phenomena, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics, with particular emphasis on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying interfacial and multiphase flows. These investigations are motivated by a wide array of technological and biological applications, including evaporative cooling, surfactant-replacement therapy, crude oil, polymer and food processing, coating flow technology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology.

I explore the fascinating phenomena arising in liquid motion using advanced theoretical models. Solving these models typically involves a combination of analytical tools, such as asymptotics and perturbation theory, along with the development of efficient computational methods.
