Research Interests
We work at the interface between Transport Phenomena -Fluid Mechanics- and Statistical Physics -Stochastic Processes- to investigate the transport of suspended particles in complex systems. Our objective is to develop a fundamental understanding of transport at small scales by combining theory and numerical simulations with experiments. Our objective is also to use this basic understanding to create micro & nanofluidic devices with improved capabilities over conventional systems, in fields such as separation sciences.
