Research Interest

We are interested in the enhancement of drug delivery into the lungs through comprehensive studies of:

  • Aerosol generation from commercial inhaler devices
  • Aerosol deposition losses in oral and nasal airways

Deeper insight into the aerosol generation, transport and deposition can be made using experimental analysis (aerosol deposition and fluid flow field measurements) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical simulation.
