Research / Scholarly interests
My research is concerned with studying physical problems governed by partial differential equations with free boundaries. One common example is the water wave which is usually dominated by gravity or surface tension depending on the length-scale of the problem. The phenomenon can be easily observed in a pond, a lake, an ocean and etc. With the inclusion of electric fields, such extension in the capillary scale is called electrohydrodynamics (EHD) which enjoys various industrial applications.
