Research Interests
My research interest lies in the area of Applied Mathematics, Mathematical
Fluid Mechanics, Non-Linear Partial Differential
Equations, Hydrodynamic Stability, Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics,
Fluid-Structure Interaction, Experimental Fluid Mechanics and Philosophy of
Science.For my doctoral thesis, I worked on problems concerning the steady state
behavior of rigid bodies sedimenting in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. I am
currently studying certain interesting mathematical problems concerning the
existence and stability of flows that arise in the
motion of Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids in channels and pipes.
