Research Interests


My research interests focus on three interconnected areas to enhance fundamental understanding and practical applications in fluid dynamics, cavitation, and cryogenics. Using experimental and numerical approaches, I investigate two-phase flow and cavitation bubble dynamics to improve cryogenic fluid handling and medical technologies, such as laser lithotripters. I also explore laser interactions with fluids and solids, optimizing settings for biomedical applications, particularly in lithotripsy, while considering future prospects in thrombolysis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatments. Additionally, I study cryogenic systems with an emphasis on advancing liquid natural gas (LNG) storage and transportation. Committed to education, I mentor students in experimental and computational techniques related to fluid dynamics, fostering skills to address complex engineering challenges through project-based learning.
