I am a PhD student working with Dr. David L. Hu at the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech.
My primary focus during my PhD is on biological adhesion. During the past 4 years, I have studied the mechanisms behind high adhesivity in frog tongues, flexible yet sharp cat tongues, how sweating affects grip and earwax as a filtering mechanism. My research is at the intersection of fluid mechanics, solid mechanics and biology.
