Our research group (Soft and Active Matter Lab: SAML) focuses on modelling microhydrodynamics of various Soft and Active Matter Systems: Microswimmers, Non-Brownian Particles, Brownian Colloids, Interfaces and Drops, etc. Our research integrates simulation techniques such as Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), Rigid Multiblob Method (RMBM) Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD), Langevin Dynamics (LD), Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to explore emergent behaviors in active and passive soft matter. Recently, we are interested in looking at hydrodynamic behavior of flagellated bacteria in confined environments. We also investigate passive and active colloids at fluid-fluid interfaces, quantifying propulsion mechanisms, interfacial trapping, and collective assembly, etc.
