We investigate the dynamics of bubbles, droplets, and liquid films across a variety of geometries and situations. Our research extends to the study of liquid flow through porous media, encompassing phenomena such as capillary imbibition, filtration, and drying in porous structures. 

In an acoustic pressure field, bubbles can induce motion in the surrounding liquid at micro-scales. Our research is dedicated to developing advanced techniques for micro-scale flow control through the use of acoustically driven bubbles. Given that acoustic waves can propagate through solid media, these methods hold potential for remote flow manipulation applications. This advancement is highly pertinent for the fabrication of intricate microstructures and the development of innovative biomedical devices. 

Gallium-based liquid metals (GBLMs) have both high fluidity and electrical conductivity, making them highly promising candidates for the advancement of soft electronics. Howecer, a nanometer-thick oxide skin forms on the GBLM surface, causing atypical interfacial behaviors, and the underlying physics remains unclear. Our research aims to elucidate the underlying mechanics governing these atypical interfacial motions. We seek to advance microfabrication techniques for GBLMs, enhancing their application in soft electronics, robotics, microfluidics, and biomedical devices. 

Electrodes for Li-ion batteries are produced by coating a mixture of active materials, conductive additives, and binders onto thin metal foils. Our research is focused on advancing the control mechanisms involved in the handling and processing of this liquid slurry. By improving our understanding of slurry dynamics, we aim to significantly enhance the overall efficiency and performance of Li-ion batteries. 

Root canal treatment aims to eliminate bacteria proliferating within the root canals of a tooth. Conventional irrigation methods often involve inserting instruments directly into the root canals. However, these methods can struggle to thoroughly remove bacteria, particularly in the apical region. Our research focuses on developing a novel device that leverages bubble dynamics at micro-scales to enhance irrigation performance.
