Research Interests:
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS IN CHEMICAL PROCESS
Computational fluid dynamics is a numerical technique for the design and analysis of fluid systems. It
is a powerful tool for the design, scale-up and evaluation of process vessels and is rapidly becoming common
place in both academia and industry for solving the problems.
MEMBRANE RESEARCH LIBRARY
Developing an framework for the cataloging and dissemination of Membrane research for a digital library to
promote the synergistic comparison of various membranes systems. This project is currently online and can be
found at
