My research focuses on fluid dynamics, specifically turbulent boundary layers. It aims to deepen our understanding of turbulence to create more sustainable engineering solutions. By reducing skin friction drag in turbulent boundary layers, the research improves the efficiency of various engineering applications like aircraft, ships, cars, pipelines, heliostats, and solar panels.

  • Aerodynamics (turbulent boundary layers, turbulent boundary layer control, turbulent drag reduction, and etc.)
  • Renewable energy (solar energy, wind energy, and etc.)
