Research Statement

My research interests are centered around simulation and modeling of multiphysics, multiscale processes involving fluid dynamics, complex chemical kinetics, mass transfer, and heat transfer. Application areas include turbulent reacting flow (primarily combustion related processes). Software and algorithm design are also key research interests, as they relate to high performance computing for complex thermochemical flow processes.
