The Soft Matter and Interface Lab (SMIL) is interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computational science, material engineering, fluid mechanics, and bioengineering. The central aim of our research group is the development of multiscale modeling and novel simulation methods to study mechanics and physics of soft matter, transport of particles and cells, and biological flows. Additionally, we explore interfacial transport processes in heterogeneous materials, which has applications in many fields ranging from targeted drug delivery to environmental remediation. Our work benefits biomedicine, environment, and energy.
