Research Interests

My interests lie in the development of fundamental understanding pertaining to the breakup of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids
in gaseous crossflow. The experimental studies are conducted using different equipments (shock tube facility and supersonic and
subsonic wind tunnels) and different laser diagnostic techniques (laser strobe illumination high-speed video imaging, particle imaging
velocimetry, pulsed shadowgraphy, and pulsed photography).

Computational fluid dynamics modeling is employed to assist in the understanding of the flow fields that are difficult to access experimentally.
