Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in Toronto, Canada. Prior to this, I was a postdoc at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and later a Visiting Assistant Professor at Northwestern University.

I investigate the fluid-dynamics principles governing the motion of small swimming organisms. Motivated by naturally occurring phenomena and laboratory experiments, my research uses applied mathematical tools, such as asymptotic analysis and numerical modelling, to uncover the physical mechanisms that govern swimmer motion in complex fluid environments. My work aims to advance our understanding of active matter—suspensions of self-propelled entities such as swimming organisms—and informs a range of applications, including targeted drug delivery, biofuel production and climate change. Throughout my research journey, I have embraced interdisciplinary collaboration and explored emerging technologies to advance my research, and I have recently begun incorporating AI/ML tools into my work.
