Our research is based on the application of numerical methods to delineate the solutions to practical transport phenomena problems. Our group specialises in application of engineering principles to answer questions related to pathophysiological blood flow, drug delivery, and biomechanical analyses of blood vessels, design and optimization of bioreactors, and membrane separation processes. researchInfographic showing the Xu Group research streams.
