| Description of Research Interests |
| My primary research interests are in active enhancement of convective heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics and flow control, with a focus on energy efficient thermal management of electronics. Most of my research is experimental in nature: high spatial and temporal resolution measurements of flow, temperature and heat transfer, improving experimental techniques (e.g., infrared thermography, particle image velocimetry, constant temperature anemometry), and applying these methods to advance the understanding of physical thermo-fluids phenomena in engineering applications to promote the sustainable use of energy in devices and systems. |
