Our group has been working on physical problems in fluid dynamics
that are related to biology and geophysics. To be more specific, we study
the flapping of flags in the wind (this problem is closely related to
the swimming of fish), the thrust generation and the flapping locomotion
of birds and fish, thermal convection in the geophysical context (the coupling
between continents and the convective mantle), etc.
Our research activities aim to understand the intriguing dynamics of these complex systems
using archetype, table-top-scale experiments. Our research efforts have involved
not only graduate students and post-docs, we often invite talented
undergraduate students and even high school students to the lab and expose
them to active research programs.
Our research activities have been supported by the Department of Energy and by the National
Science Foundation.
