Background and current research

I am a postdoctoral researcher 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.
