Projects 2–1: Dispersion of BWAs in Attack Zones;

2–2: Micro- and Nanofluidic Devices for Sorting and Sensing BWAs and Engineering Blood Additives

Transport mechanics of complex fluids (polymers, DNA, fiber suspensions): large scale simulations of poorly understood phenomena coupled with detailed experiments to elucidate the important physics in a variety of processes. Elastic effects in coating instabilities, studies of DNA dynamics in mixed flows with application to scission and sequencing, investigations of the separation of complex macromolecules in Brownian ratchets and fabricated post arrays, and molecular simulation of turbulent drag reduction by polymers and fibers.
