RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests focus on modeling, numerical analysis and simulation techniques for multiphysics problems that are formulated using systems of coupled PDEs, with special emphasis on problems that are based or involve the understanding of the rheology of complex fluids.

The main applications of my research:

– Life Science Applications:
Biofilms; Chemotaxis; Swarming; Tumor Dynamics; Vesicle Membranes;

– Material Science Applications:
Flows through Porous Media; Liquid Crystals; Mixtures of Fluids; Non-Newtonian Rheology; Thin Films; Solidification Processes; Viscoelastic Fluids;
