He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2009, and after a period of postdoctoral Research in MIT Chemical Engineering, he joined Stanford as a Faculty in 2011. His research is broadly focused on fluid dynamics problems that involve strong coupling with mass-transport phenomena and commonly involve turbulence or chaos. Current themes in his research include turbulent multiphase flows, bubbly flows, superhydrophobic surfaces, and fluid dynamics in electrochemical systems with applications in microscale engineering.
