Our research objective is to address global-scale challenges pertaining to energy, environment, and health. We work at the cross-roads of surface science, fluid and thermal transport, and interfacial interactions.
The focus of our research group is to use the understanding of micro-scale phenomena to devise solutions for areas related to thermal management, biomedicine, and fouling.
