I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, and my research focuses on blood damage under high shear stress in mechanical circulatory support devices. I primarily focus on high shear-induced platelet and neutrophil activation, receptor shedding, and morphological change during flow through blood-contacting medical devices. I have a strong background in solid and fluid mechanics, with specific training and expertise in developing computational methods for multiphase flow, emulsions of particles and cells, and fluid-solid interaction (FSI) problems. During my Ph.D., I numerically investigated droplet deformation, pair interactions, pair trajectories, orientation, and lateral movement in different flow conditions. This research focused on deepening the fundamental understanding of droplet dynamics in an emulsion and its effect on the overall flow behavior (rheology). In addition, I developed a computational fluid dynamics code that simulates a rigid body deforming a soft viscoelastic solid in a liquid environment, which is prevalent in many industrial, biological, and natural systems, e.g., industrial slurry flow, sediment transport in rivers, blood cell interaction with heart valves, etc. This development allowed for an in-depth investigation of the different viscoelastic properties affecting the deformation of the solid and the forces exerted by the fluid. Many of my research have been published in the top peer-reviewed scientific journals and accepted for presentation in multiple scientific conferences.
