Research Interests
Dr. Zheng's research areas are bio-fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with emphasis on the integrative and organismal systems that involve flow-structure-acoustics interactions (FSAI). His research group has been focusing on developing a versatile high-fidelity multiphysics simulation and optimization platform for a broad range of biological and medical applications. The research goal is to develop and utilize advanced computer modeling techniques to improve the understanding of biophysics of various flow-related biological/physiological functions in human and animal. The knowledge can inspire innovative engineering designs and improve the diagnostic and treatment of related diseases. The current applications include the human speech production, bio-locomotion (swimming and flying), bio-inspired flow sensing, and cardiovascular health.
