My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between the development of the biomedical discoveries and translating them into clinical applications that improve human health. In particular, I am interested in developing and validating computer modeling and simulations in medicine and biology in general.

During my PhD at UNC Chapel Hill, I worked on fluid-structure interaction models of bioprosthetic valves in an in vitro pulse duplicator. The primary software I used for my simulations is IBAMR, which is a distributed-memory parallel implementation of the immersed boundary (IB) method with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR).

My current research is on modeling gastric biomechanics, drug dissolution, gastroparesis, and gastrointestinal feedback mechanism. For these simulations, I use ViCar3D, which is a Viscous Cartesian grid solver for 3D immersed boundaries based on the sharp-interface immersed boundary method developed by Professor Rajat Mittal.
