Teaching and Research Interests
Research interests revolve around microfabrication, testing, integration and scale-up of microfluidic systems for chemical and biochemical discovery, synthesis and processing. Chemical kinetics and transport phenomena related to processing of organic and inorganic materials for electronic and optical applications are also topics of interest along with development of simulation approaches for reactive systems, specifically simulation across multiple length and time scales.

Teaching interests include chemical reaction engineering, transport phenomena, fundamentals of microfluidics, and materials and processes relevant to micro and nano fabrication.
