About

I am a Research Associate in the Dept. of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Calgary. I received MASc from the University of Regina (2019) and

completed my PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Calgary (2025). During my time at the University of Regina (2015-2019) in Saskatchewan, I was fascinated by the non-equilibrium behaviour of the tiny gas bubble at micro-scales and decided to dive into research topics where microfluidics for soft condensed matter research is active. My research interests lie at the intersections between fluid mechanics, surface thermodynamics and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics in microfluidic systems, which lead to developments in chemical and biological applications. Currently, I am working out a theory and a thermofluidic platform to explore colloid thermophoresis in aqueous systems, with potential applications in disease screening, diagnostics and therapeutics.
