Project 1 of 4

Rotating convection

How rotation and boundary topography shape convective flow, measured with time-resolved 3D particle tracking.

Tensor geometry and energy transfer

How the alignment between stress and strain sets the direction of turbulent energy transfer, and how to steer it to enhance mixing.

Two-way coupling between active matter and flow

How swimming organisms respond to the flows around them and, in turn, reshape transport and mixing.

Crowd dynamics

How sidewalls and bottlenecks shape the collective motion of pedestrians, studied with a social-distance model.
