About Me
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. I work with Prof. Gareth McKinley and Prof. Irmgard Bischofberger on studying mixing and turbulence of dilute biopolymer solutions using Schlieren imaging. In my research, I investigate the potential of using dilute biopolymer solutions instead of synthetic polymer solutions for drag reduction in pipelines and around marine structures.
