Lab mission
Our research focuses on fundamental questions in Fluid Dynamics motivated by or targeted to applications and natural phenomena. The problems of interest span from high Reynolds number flows, e.g. aerodynamics and geophysics, to low Reynolds number flows, namely microfluidics and fluid mechanics of complex interfaces. The research involves both theoretical - rigorous analytical and numerical - as well as experimental studies.
