My research focus is on modelling particles and interface phenomena in complex fluids, particularly colloids in liquid crystals and interface-driven fluid dynamics at the micro- and nano-scale. The objectives are three-fold: (1) To provide a tool for studying in-vivo microrheology of anisotropic fluid environments, such as those naturally occurring in biological systems. (2) To improve our understanding of colloidal nematic suspensions so that self-assembled structures, such as those suggested as the basis of 3D photonic band-gap materials, can be manipulated and constructed in a controlled fashion. (3) To construct models for surface-dominated flow regimes relevant for micro- and nano-fluidic devices.

我的研究重点是模拟复杂流体中的颗粒和界面现象，特别是液晶中的胶体，以及微观和纳米尺度上的界面驱动流体动力学。目标有三个：(1)为研究各向异性流体环境的体内微观流变学提供一种工具，例如那些自然发生在生物系统中的流体环境。(2)提高我们对胶体向列相悬浮体的理解，以便能够以可控的方式操纵和构建自组装结构，例如那些被认为是3D光子带隙材料的基础的结构。(3)建立与微纳流控装置相关的表面控制流型模型。
