Research interests

My research interests are focused on modelling and numerical simulation of fluids and structures, especially fluid-structure interaction in physiology. In particular self-excited oscillations in flexible vessels, multi-scale modelling of heart, dynamic modelling of mitral valves, vocal folds vibration and snoring, bile flow and gallbladder pain mechanisms.
