Research Scientist at µFlow Group – Vrije Universiteit Brussel

My research focuses on understanding the transport of microscale objects within fluid environments. These microscale objects include solid particles, droplets, bubbles, cells, and bacteria, all of which play crucial roles across diverse industries, products, and emerging technologies. By utilizing a combination of experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches, we explore complex fluid dynamics problems to develop innovative solutions.

Our research spans a broad range of applications, including:

  • Reducing dispersion in chromatography columns using lateral vortices.
  • Microfabrication
  • Producing monodisperse microparticles at high throughput.
  • Investigating the effect of shear flow on cells fragmentation in microfluidic devices.
  • Removing microparticles from surfaces in both single- and multiphase flows.
  • Studying the hydrodynamics of ellipsoidal microparticles near surfaces.

The core of our work is centered on microfluidics, with a particular emphasis on applications in bioengineering. For more detailed insights, please visit the research section or feel free to contact me.
