About Us

Our Computational Physics Group advances the understanding of complex physical phenomena through state-of-the-art modeling and high-performance numerical methods. While our main expertise is in fluid mechanics and heat transfer, we also address broader challenges across physics and engineering.

We focus on three main areas:

  • Computational Algorithms — scalable methods for multi-physics simulations.
  • Fundamental Research — mechanisms behind complex flow and transport.
  • Applications — utilizing insights to solve engineering and scientific problems.

We bridge theory with practice and welcome motivated students and collaborators from physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to join us in exploring new frontiers.

Yuri Feldman

Associate Professor

I lead a research group developing advanced computational fluid dynamics tools and high-performance numerical methods for complex flows. Our research emphasizes immersed boundary techniques and two-way coupled fluid–structure interaction, with a focus on efficient, scalable solvers for particle–flow and body–flow dynamics. Applications include bio-inspired locomotion, multiphase flows, and engineering systems.
