My current research focuses on the fluid dynamics and solute transport in the human placenta, using computational models with lattice-Boltzmann and immersed-boundary methods. My research interests also include bioinspired microswimmers and medical micro/nanorobots. Previously I was a PhD researcher (Principal's Career Development Scholar & Edinburgh Global Research Scholar) in the Institute for Multiscale Thermofluids (IMT) at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh.
