His research interests lie at the intersection of applied mathematics and computational science, with a focus on developing and analyzing numerical schemes for partial differential equations arising in fluid mechanics and biological systems. He has made significant contributions to high-resolution methods, adaptive meshing, and the simulation of compressible flows and sediment transport.
Over the past decade, his work has expanded into mathematical biology, particularly in modeling cholesterol biosynthesis pathways and plant growth dynamics. His publications show a consistent trend toward interdisciplinary applications of rigorous numerical techniques.
Notable scientific contributions include work on the ALE adaptive mesh methods, ghost fluid methods for compressible flow, and multiscale biological models. He has been involved in collaborative projects related to coastal morphodynamics and data assimilation.
