		Wetting of textured surfaces Theory of wetting properties of rigid and elastic micro-textured surfaces. Design of optimally water repellent surfaces. Drawing on observations from nature, we hope to better understand the motion of microdrops on textured substrates, with application in digital microfluidics.

		Waves in fluids Wave propagation over a seabed with random roughness, wave generated sand bars on beaches, sediment sorting on a seabed under surface waves.

		Fundamental Fluid Dynamics Effect of surfactant on fluid flows (Marangoni flows), particles and droplets impacting, floating or partially immersed on a free surface. Topics in biolocomotion.
