As part of the joint UK-Dutch SINBAD project, developed a novel three dimensional Euler- Lagrange flow solver to study the multiphase oscillatory boundary layers. Studies of physical processes affecting sediment transport in the presence of both sand ripples and sheet flow.

Computational Flow Physics Laboratory

Analysed fundamental and applied fluid flow problems using multiscale modeling and numerical simulations. Areas of past research include bubble-vortex interactions, bubble & particle interactions with turbulence, bubble column reactors, pitching and flapping propulsion, flow through porous media and packed beds, coherent flow feature identification using Lagrangian and Eulerian criteria, and flow visualization. Developed several extensions for a massively parallel, unstructured finite volume… Show more Analysed fundamental and applied fluid flow problems using multiscale modeling and numerical simulations.

Developed several extensions for a massively parallel, unstructured finite volume flow solver, including an efficient on-the-fly computation of finite time Lyapunov exponent fields. Show less

Stennis Space Center, Mississippi

Identified coherent structures and fluid-like behavior in rapid granular chute flows simulated with a large-scale molecular dynamics code. This work was done as part of the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP) under supervision of Dr. Joseph Calantoni and Dr. Julian Simeonov.

Northampton, Massachusetts

Created 2D drawings and 3D solid models for precision optical and imaging systems used primarily in naval submarine environments. Developed models to analyze heat transfer and airflow using commercial codes.

Center For Energy Efficiency And Renewable Energy

Performed Department of Energy sponsored energy audits at industrial facilities around the northeast United States. Made efficiency and conservation based recommendations to clients in reports based on Department of Energy best practices for optimizing heating, cooling, combustion, insulation, HVAC, and compressed air systems.
