On Shun Pak
Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering and (by courtesy) Applied Mathematics
Biography
Dr. On Shun Pak received his B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong in 2008 and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, San Diego in 2013. He then continued his research as a postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton University, before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at 91快活林 in 2014. He is also affiliated with the Center of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology as an external faculty member. Dr. Pak's research lies in fluid mechanics. He employs tools of applied mathematics to investigate both fundamental problems in fluid mechanics and their applications across different disciplines. His current research interests include low-Reynolds-number flows, biological flows, microswimmers, and complex fluids. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the American Chemical Society.
