Living systems must reliably transport and organize material to form and fulfil complex biological functions. My research combines ideas from physics, mathematics, and biology to study these systems, using this understanding to guide the design of new soft materials and optimise existing solutions. Currently, I am excited by liquid-liquid phase separation as a mechanism for spatial organization within cells, and the potential for wetting on complex geometries and interfaces to control fluid transport.
My methodology involves developing continuum mathematical models and implementing them numerically using the lattice Boltzmann method. I have contributed to several high performance lattice Boltzmann packages.
I am currently finishing my PhD at the Institute for Multiscale Thermofluids at the University of Edinburgh, under thesupervision ofProf. Halim Kusumaatmaja.
