Research Interests
Magnetic bearings in flywheel energy storage systems
Magnetic fields and forces are modeled in systems that employ Halbach permanent magnet arrays in high speed magnetic bearings.
Electrohydrodynamic instability mechanisms in microfluidic applications
Very old work on electrohydrodynamic instability mechanisms driven by bulk fluid property gradients is currently relevant to microfluidic interactions.
Electromagnetic interactions
Descriptions of magnetic diffusion interactions have led to fundamental understanding of power frequency magnetic shielding principles and strategies, including multilayered shielding and simultaneous effects of flux shunting and flux redirection due to induced currents. More recent work focuses on shielding that results from induced currents in large scale loops formed by structural steel.
