Multiphysics Research Group (MuRG)

 

 
    

The Multiphysics Research Group (MuRG) investigates transport phenomena and reaction chemistry at the nano, micro and continuum scales using both numerical and experimental methods. The group specializes in techniques such as lattice Boltzmann method, Molecular Dynamics, Stokesian Particle Dynamics amongst others. In addition to theoretical and numerical studies, the group also characterizes materials experimentally using advanced diagnostics such as the Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Laser Induced Fluorescence, to name a few. Current research focuses on microscale mixing using field effects (eg. magnetic or electroosmotic forces), growth models for carbon nanotubes and their characterization, mass and ion transport through carbon nanotubes and heat transfer at the nanoscale. Efforts such as these are indispensable for the advancement of research and development at the frontier of science.
