Research Interests
My research interests span a wide range of phenomena in soft matter physics, from thin film flows and multiphase flows in porous media, to collective dynamics and pattern formation. Inspired by experiments in the lab, I develop models using methods of statistical physics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics to improve our understanding of the underlying physics of different phenomena.
