        Welcome to my webpage. I am an Assistant Adjunct Professor in Computational and Applied Mathematics, a "CAM", in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA; this is my 3rd year at UCLA. My mentor is professor Andrea Bertozzi and we work together on hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations related  to gravity driven particle-laden thin film flows. More details on my work can be found on my research page and our lab page (see links above). Currently, I collaborate with Dirk Peschka (WIAS, Berlin) and Benoit Pausader (Brown University).

        While at UCLA, I also mentored two groups of undergraduate students who did research on particle-laden flows within UCLA Applied Math Research Experience for Undergraduates program. You can find more details about these project here: REU2009 and REU2010.

        I am also interested in evaporation of thin films and drops, and thermocapillary driven flows. My collaborators in this field include my former Ph.D. advisor Lou Kondic (NJIT), Shomeek Mukhopadhyay (Columbia University) and Bob Behringer (Duke University).

        Otherwise, I enjoy playing tennis, swimming, biking, skiing, snorkeling and traveling, as well as everything regarding sports automobiles of a certain Bavarian variety with a roundel logo, and some aspects of (mostly British) contemporary music.

        Below are some very interesting images from our fluids lab showing the laser sheet in action, sliding drops, running streams, and the Santa Monica beach sand + (silicon) oil + (salty) water mixture (our very own oil spill!).
