Investigations of transport and growth processes in fluid systems in chemical, biochemical and materials engineering applications. Systems currently being investigated include protein crystallization, protein adsorption and spray combustion in liquid-fueled engines. The research focus is on improving them by first understanding the fundamental mechanisms of each process.
