Andrew Lam

Andrew Lam is a post-doctoral researcher at Universitat Regensburg specializing in mathematical modeling and numerical analysis of fluid dynamics, with a focus on phase field methods for two-phase flows involving surfactants and shape optimization in fluid mechanics. He completed his Ph.D. in 2014 at the University of Warwick under Prof. Charlie Elliott and Dr. Björn Stinner.

Andrew Lam's educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Warwick (2014). Thesis: "Diffuse interface models of soluble surfactants in two-phase fluid flows".
• M.Sc. in Mathematics, University of Warwick (2011). Thesis: "Surface Allen-Cahn equation".

His research spans computational mathematics and fluid dynamics, concentrating on phase field modeling of soluble surfactants in two-phase flow, numerical methods for PDEs on complex domains, and shape/topology optimization in fluid mechanics. This work bridges theoretical analysis with computational techniques, yielding applications in interfacial phenomena and biological systems like tumor growth modeling. His methodological contributions emphasize finite element analysis and error estimation for diffuse domain approaches.

Publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory centered on phase field methodologies, with significant contributions to bulk-surface coupled PDE systems and surfactant-laden two-phase flows. His work consistently integrates rigorous mathematical analysis with practical computational implementations, demonstrating expertise in numerical stability and interfacial dynamics across fluid mechanics and biomedical applications.
