Our research is mainly focused on studying ultrafine biopolymeric and synthetic fibres produced by electrostatic spinning techniques. These versatile materials are being exploited in our laboratory for the encapsulation and triggered release of bioactive compounds.
I have a diverse range of interests related to herbivorous insects in agroecosystems, including the phytochemicals that influence insect interactions with host plants, factors influencing...
Multiphase flow takes place in a wide spectrum of engineering applications such as food production, power generation, water treatment, oil production, water desalination, refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as in carbon capture and sequestration systems. My lab aims at providing reliable solutions for our many industrial problems and new technologies that can make these engineering systems more efficient and sustainable.
My research is designed to better understand the relative risks that environmental stressors may pose to the biota of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems with the goal of improving scientific and public understanding of those risks.
