Research group led by Dr. Li Xi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lixi/), in the Department of Chemical Engineering at McMaster University, focusing on the application of scientific computing in fundamental and applied research in chemical engineering.
- Fundamental fluid dynamics, especially the dynamics of non-Newtonian and complex fluids, using numerical simulation.
- CFD modeling and simulation of industrial chemical processes.
- Molecular modeling for the design and engineering of polymer-based materials: a priori materials property predictions based on computer simulation and modeling.
- Interfacial properties and engineering of polymer and soft matter systems.
- rheology and dynamics of polymers.
