Research Interests

My research interest is to study the spray development process in detail through both experiments and Numerical simulations. For experiments, high speed imaging techniques are used to unravel the significant information of physical phenomenon involved. And this information are used to improve the fidelity of the numerical simulations in predciting the macro and micro spray characteristics. ​
