Research
My research is organized around physical problems. Methods are selected and combined as needed.
Research Problems
High-Heat-Flux & Two-Phase Systems
Understanding and predicting thermal limits in systems where large heat loads, phase change, pressure drop, and flow instability interact.
Experience: flow boiling and two-phase cooling for ultra-fast EV charging; liquid-immersion cooling of high-power solid-state lasers.
Transport & Flow Systems
Understanding how momentum, heat, and transported material move and interact in engineered flow systems.
Experience: chaotic mixing, crossflow filtration, multiphase transport, and thermal-fluid systems.
AI for Physical Systems
Developing predictive and reasoning methods that connect data with physical models and scientific computation.
Current work: generative modeling and AI agents for boiling and related physical systems.
Approach
Experiment · Physical Modeling · Scientific Computing · Data-Driven Modeling · AI Agents
These are complementary tools rather than separate research identities. My primary physical grounding is in thermofluids and two-phase flow.
