I am a doctoral candidate specialising in fluid mechanics, with B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in civil engineering. My research focuses on wall-bounded turbulence and passive flow control for drag reduction. I am interested in how near-wall flow responds when the surface is modified, and the scaling laws that describe this response. My work is experimental and combines hot wire anemometry with direct measurement of total drag. Building on this, I plan to extend into particle-laden flows, where the same near-wall dynamics that govern skin friction also control how dispersed particles are transported and deposited. My aim is to gain a fundamental understanding of how turbulent flows and dispersed particle phases interact, with applications in high performance engineering, energy and environmental systems.
