In the broad area of
complex fluids and complex flows, our research ranges from
molecular studies to
macroscopic applications .
Using
rigorous theoretical analysis
(theorems in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, kinetic theory and
hydrodynamic stability),
complex simulations
(rarefied gas flows, lamellar mesophase simulations from molecular to
continuum scales, large scale turbulent particle-gas simulations) and
sophisticated experiments
(microfluidics, nano-engineering of catalyst layers).
With the objective of
uncovering fundamental phenomena
and demonstrating their
potential impact
on
applications of the future
(microreactors, hypersonic transport, energy conversion systems).
