Chemical Engineer by training, I work in the area of fluid mechanics and soft matter systems.  My group uses analytical theory, experimental methods and numerical solutions to solve problems in the area of electrohydrodynamics of drops, capsules, vesicles and biological cells. The endevor is to understand the intricate physics of electrohydrodynamics and fluid-structure interaction. The interest is to solve problems in crude oil emulsions encountered in refineries, colloidal and surfactant systems, emulsions, as well as biological applications such as dielectrophoresis and electroporation .
