Research

Fluid mechanics and interfacial phenomena. Current research interests are in the area of interfacial hydrodynamics, including monolayer hydrodynamics (such as measurements and modeling of intrinsic interfacial viscosities for lung surfactant applications), and other surface tension effects such as capillarity (e.g. capillary instability and its applications to liquid lenses). Our work in the area of bio-fluids also includes studies of protein structure in the presence of flow, especially at the air/water interface. We have made advances to experimental techniques including particle image velocimetry, nonlinear optical technique of second-harmonic generation, as well as Brewster angle microscopy for flowing systems. We also work in the area of microfluidics, especially in relation to free surface effects. Our research has received funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), National Science Foundation (NSF), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
