The research interests of my group are in numerics and analysis of partial differential equations, in particular mathematical and computational fluid dynamics as well as fluid-structure interaction in hemodynamics. We have developed structure preserving schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and analysed their limits in the class of generalized measure-valued solutions. Our expertise further includes hybrid multiscale method for complex soft-matter fluids as well as analysis and simulation of phase separation processes.
