I use the methods of applied mathematics to investigate problems in the physical and biological sciences. More specifically, I use a combination of asymptotic analysis and numerical calculations to study the physics of fluids, and its applications in biological systems. I also run experiments in the Applied Math Laboratory. The emphasis of my work is always on the simple physical picture. I interact with experimentalists as often as possible, and as a result a lot of my work consists in attempting to rationalize other people's experimental results.

My current research interests are:
  - Everything that has to do with biological locomotion, from swimming microorganisms to snakes; 
  - Capillary phenomenon;
  - Self-assembly in material sciences;
  - Microfluidics;
  - Soft condensed matter, in particular complex fluids.
