2019-Present, Postdoctoral Researcher, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium

Focus: nonlinear chemical reactions in active emulsions.

2017-2019, Postdoctoral Researcher, École Polytechnique, France

Focus: nonlinear dynamics of chemically active microdroplets.

• Symmetry breaking in active microdrops depends on their deformability with highly-deformable drops exhibiting subcritical bifurcation.

• Unsteady reagent advection may be responsible for chaotic behavior of active microdrops.

• Helical self-propulsion trajectories observed in dissolving nematic droplets may be due to the competition between nematic reorientation mechanisms.

2015-2017, Postdoctoral Researcher, Technion, Israel

Focus: microfluidic devices powered by surface acoustic waves.

• Surface acoustic waves may drive thin-film coating flows.

• Surface acoustic waves may accelerate the drainage of a thin liquid film that is sandwiched between a bubble and a solid substrate.

• Review of transport and wetting phenomena driven by surface acoustic waves.

2009-2015, Ph.D. Candidate, Technion, Israel

Focus: Marangoni convection in thin films of surfactant solutions.

• Long-wave evolution equations of oscillatory Marangoni convection break down at high Marangoni numbers.

• Dynamics of surfactant sorption may affect the formation of convective patterns in thin liquid films.

• Oscillatory mode of the Marangoni convection bifurcates subcritically when surfactant adsorption is strong.
