Research Interests Computational mechanics, solution adaptive finite element methods, parallel and high performance computing, applications to biomechanical systems.

I am interested in computational and mathematical modeling of complex systems including viscoelastic liquids, electro/magnetohydrodynamics, interfacial flows in porous media, dynamic contact lines, and microfluidics. Studies of existence of solutions, flow stability, asymptotic behavior, and singularities of such problems pose a great challenge. I use numerical modeling for addressing some of these mathematical open questions

Our work on the mechanical behavior of thin films and nanocomposites has tackled the important problem of simulating interface and interphase behavior at extended length and time scales. A newly established scale bridging technique called thermomechanically consistent coarse-graining (TCCG) developed for investigating polymer dynamics near surfaces with nanometer scale resolution has been instrumental in revealing
