RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Professor Velayudhan's interests are centered around biological separations and mathematical modeling. In the separations area, his group works on theoretical and experimental methods of developing and optimizing preparative chromatographic separations. They are also studying novel microscale separations and their combination and sequencing, with the goal of producing increasingly more versatile and intelligent versions of a "lab on a chip." Areas of modeling interest include parameter estimation and the inverse problem for problems described by nonlinear systems of partial differential equations, and the systematic use of approximate analytical solutions to nonlinear problems.
