Aerospace Engineering

My present research focus is mainly on studying the flapping aerodynamics in application to MAVs and UWVs using computational and experimental techniques. Some of my other research interests are: Design and development of bioinspired flow separation control devices; Development of IB-LBM numerical technique to study fluid-solid interactions, particle sedimentation and heat transfer problems; Experimental fluid mechanics, flow visualizations and measurements.
