We are a research group broadly interested in fluid flow and transport processes. We are located in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Riverside.
We work on a range of problems in materials processing, biotechnology, energy, and the environment. To address these interdisciplinary challenges and gain novel fundamental insights, we draw on ideas and tools from fluid and solid mechanics, soft matter physics, and applied mathematics. Our work combines simulations, theory, and microscopic and benchtop experiments.

We welcome new ideas, challenges and collaborations. If you are interested in working with us, please visit or write to us!
