I am a chemical engineering/physics PhD student focused on theoretical and computational soft matter physics. Physics explains everything in the universe, from the tiniest particles to the largest galaxies. The study of soft matter systems (e.g., plastics, colloids, liquid crystals) is one of the most complex and fascinating fields, requiring a unique blend of numericaland analytical methods to address.

About my PhD research
Subject: Simulating colloidal gels with hydrodynamics
Research description: Colloidal gels are ubiquitous in both nature and everyday life. Their unique properties and structures make them fascinating from both theoretical and industrial perspectives. Their dynamic sand structure depend on many complex factors, which are challenging to describe mathematically. One of these factors is hydrodynamic interactions, themany-body emergent effects arising from the surrounding fluid's dynamics. The application of external stimuli, such as shear, makes these systems even more intriguing. The primary goal of this project is to thoroughly study how these hydrodynamically coupled systems behave under such stimuli, using state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical methods.
