Assistant Professor




I have begun working at UC Merced in the summer of 2006, as an Assistant Professor.

Previously, I was a researcher at the James Franck Institute where I work primarily with Wendy Zhang and her group .

During the year 2003-2004, I was part of the Mechanical Enginering department at UCSB. My work there was focused on numerical simulations of particle-laden gravity currents. I mostly collaborated with Eckart Meiburg.

Before coming to UCSB, I was a graduate student in Applied Mathematics at MIT from September 1999 to July 2003 where I studied Fluid Dynamics under the supervision of John Bush, mostly focusing on sedimentation.

You may find my CV here, as well as my research statement .
