Howard H. Hu
Professor
Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM)
Research Expertise: Computational mechanics | Fluid mechanics
Howard's expertise is in computational fluid dynamics. His research focus is on modeling complex flows involving multiphase and polymeric fluids, particularly flows with solid particles, liquid drops, and gas bubbles. His group has been developing numerical techniques for simulating motions of large numbers of particles in those multiphase systems. They are engaged in understanding and controlling the particulate flows in various microfluidic applications through electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis.
