My current research focuses on computational biofluid dynamics
including problems where there is a mechanical coupling between the
moving fluid and a tissue. The computational tools used to solve these
problems include immersed boundary methods, spectral element methods,
and Markov chain processes. Problems of current interest include the
cricket sensory system with the objective that improving our
understanding of the cricket's flow sensor will enable the design of
better artificial micro-flow sensors.
