Background and current research

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Sebastian Aland's research group at the Institute for Numerical Mathematics and Optimization, TU Bergakademie Freiberg. My current research concerns fully coupled numerical methods for multiphase and immersed-boundary problems.

I completed my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. My doctoral research examined dynamic instabilities of thin sheets in fluid media, combining continuum models, stability analysis and computational fluid dynamics.
