Research interests

My work draws from nonlinear mechanics, materials physics, applied mathematics and numerical methods. I am particularly interested in problems of mathematical biology, biophysics and the materials physics. Current research interests include: (1) mathematical and physical modelling of tumor growth, (2) cell mechanics (3) chemo-mechanically driven phenomena in materials, such as phase transformations and stress-influenced mass transport. For more details follow the link below to my group's home page.
