About me
Research overview
My broader interests fall in the area of Mathematical Biology, with a particular focus on physiological fluid dynamics. I design and conduct modeling studies to understand the structure-function relationship of the local and multi-scale physiological systems, including the cardiovascular & pulmonary networks and upper airways.
My research's computational aspects include the formulation of multi-fidelity fluid dynamics models and their analysis by performing parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification. My recent projects include an NIH funded phase-II SBIR for developing a Nasal Surgery Simulator and an NSF funded research on Remodeling of Cardiovascular Networks In The Presence of Pulmonary Hypertension. I was a Co-PI on the NSF-DMS grant. These studies have various applications in Biomedical Engineering, including simulation software for medical devices for virtual surgery and noninvasive diagnosis.
In the future, I am particularly interested in high-performance computing and modeling techniques for feasible-time high-fidelity flow simulations in complex geometries. Please visit my Research page to learn more about my interdisciplinary work.
