He is a post-doctoral research associate in the Crunch group in the division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University. His current research interest is in multiscale concurrent coupling of classical particle methods at different spatial-temporal scales for simple and complex fluids. These methods include smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), (smoothed) dissipative particle dynamics (sDPD) and molecular dynamics (MD). The couplings are within the frameworks of:

• domain decomposition method
• adaptive resolution scheme
• heterogeneous multiscale method

In addition to the concurrent coupling, he tires to explore

• a unified framework on concurrent coupling from both algorithmic and technical implementation aspects
• correlations of hydrodynamic fluctuations at equilibrium and nonequilibrium
• boundary conditions for various particle methods
• parameterization of DPD, e.g., via Mori-Zwanzig formalism and Bayesian inference
• consistency and/or conservation of SPH and SDPD
