Research
Interests My main research interest is to develop an efficient computational setting for the Immersed Boundary Method employing an Adaptive Mesh Refinement Technique (Berger), capable of removing the original uniform mesh restriction of the method. This adaptive version for the Immersed Boundary Method can enhance the accuracy by covering locally an immersed boundary vicinity with a sequence of nested, progressively finer rectangular grid patches which dynamically follow the immersed boundary motion. I developed this Adaptive Immersed Boundary Method during my PhD program. Looking into the future, I have several applications in sight for this adaptive version of the Immersed Boundary Method. Among them, I intend to revisit few Peskin's models, mainly to study the interaction between blood and natural/artificial heart valves. Also, I have a great interest in the simulation of aquatic animal locomotion and flows in flexible, arbitrarily shaped tubes. For further details click here.
