Research Interests:

I strive to understand the phenomenology of mixing of multiple fluids, using theory and simulations. I currently investigate the mixing of two quiescent fluids and the resultant transition to turbulence using turbulence models. Previously I have characterized the kinetic and the dynamic properties of droplets in a turbulent medium and uncovered the laws that govern their shape fluctuations, using Direct Numerical Simulations of the Navier-Stokes Equations.
