My research interests include: 1) computational simulation of airflow and chemical odorant deposition in the human nasal cavity; 2) numerical modeling of peri-receptor chemical transport events, and exploring the possible influence of physio-chemical and local physiological variables (e.g., odorant mucosal solubility and diffusivity, nasal blood flow, etc.) on human olfactory and trigeminal responses; and 3) clinical evaluation of nasal mechanical obstruction caused by various nasal diseases and their treatment.
