My research is centred on fundamental and applied fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, with an emphasis on the rigorous integration of theoretical analysis, advanced computational methods, and high-fidelity experiments. We develop and apply lattice Boltzmann–based numerical frameworks for accurately resolving fluid–structure interaction and multi-physics flows, including moving and deformable boundaries. A major component of my group's research involves flapping and bio-inspired aerodynamics for aerial and underwater propulsion. Complementary experimental investigations using particle image velocimetry and force–moment measurements are employed to elucidate flow physics, validate models, and study wake dynamics, bluff-body flow control, and heat transfer in complex configurations, with the overarching goal of advancing both fundamental understanding and engineering design.
