Associate Professor
Summary

I as a professor of Applied Mathematics, would like to bring a wealth of expertise in fluid and solid mechanics to the academic arena. With a Ph.D. from the university of Glasgow, UK, my research journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of understanding complex phenomena in fluid dynamics and solid mechanics. My work spans the fundamental theoretical investigations to practical applications, encompassing areas such as computational fluid dynamics, elasticity, and continuum mechanics. Driven by a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration, i like to thrive at the interface of mathematics, physics, and engineering, leveraging mathematical tools to unravel the intricacies of natural and engineered systems. In the classroom, I try to inspires students with a dynamic teaching style, integrating computational methods and simulation techniques to instill both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Through mentorship and guidance, I play my part to nurture the next generation of researchers, empowering them to make meaningful contributions to the ever-evolving field of applied mathematics.
