About

I deliver a range of modules in Engineering Science, Computer Simulation and Engineering Design. I also supervise final year student projects. At the same time, I will carry out my research in mechanical engineering with main applications in bio-engineering.

Research interests

• Fluid-solid interaction
• Computer modelling
