• Conducted computational research on fluid–structure interaction, deformable cells, and nanoparticle transport in microvascular flows. • Developed three-dimensional simulations using the lattice Boltzmann method coupled with an immersed-boundary approach. • Investigated nanoparticle trajectories and transport mechanisms using dynamical-systems analysis and particle Lagrangian coherent structures (pLCS).

• Performed three-dimensional CFD simulations of jellyfish swimming and prey-capture dynamics, including vortex–body interactions and deformable-body motion. • Investigated propulsion performance, pressure fields, vortex-ring dynamics, and energy recapture during periodic swimming cycles. • Modelled prey and particle trajectories using dynamical-systems methods and identified Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) from finite-time Lyapunov exponent fields.
