Research Interests

Broadly, my research interests pertain to experimental studies in heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Areas of current interest lie in (a) microscale heat transfer and fluid mechanics, (b) investigation of transport phenomena in novel jets and sprays, and (c) development and/or application of non-intrusive whole field imaging techniques such as infrared (IR) thermography and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) thermometry to study microscale phenomena.
