Personal updates, current work, research milestones, conference news, and other highlights from what I am doing these days.
Poster Presentation at YCSEC-A 2026 in Vancouver
I will present my research at the Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference–Americas (YCSEC-A 2026) in Vancouver, Canada.
Presentation at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (Oral + ePoster)
I presented my research titled 'Spatially-Resolved Free-Surface Signatures of Submerged Counter-Rotating Vortex Pairs' at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS DFD) 2025 meeting, the world's largest international conference dedicated to fluid mechanics research. The conference brought together leading researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. Presenting my work provided an opportunity to receive technical feedback, discuss experimental methods and vortex dynamics, and engage with the latest developments in free-surface flows.
Oral Presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium
I delivered an oral presentation at the Rocky Mountain Fluid Symposium hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder. My presentation focused on vortex–surface interactions, highlighting the experimental methodology, Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren (FS-SS) measurements, and key time-averaged observations of surface deformation induced by submerged counter-rotating vortex pairs. The symposium brought together researchers, graduate students, and faculty working in fluid mechanics, turbulence, and multiphase flows, providing an excellent opportunity for technical discussions and valuable feedback on my experimental design and analysis.
Visiting Research Collaborators at Montana State University
I traveled to Montana State University to meet with our research collaborators working on the near-field dynamics of vortex–surface interactions. During the visit, I observed their experimental facilities, learned about their advanced flow visualization techniques, and examined their Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) setup to support the development of a similar system at UNH. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborative research efforts, and gain practical insights into experimental methodologies used in vortex-dominated flows.
