James Feng

James Feng is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at The University of British Columbia. His research spans mechanics of biological cells and tissues, interfacial fluid dynamics, and mechanics and rheology of complex fluids. His work is interdisciplinary, integrating applied mathematics, cell biology, soft-matter physics, and chemical and biomedical engineering. He advises graduate students in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Mathematics and is part of the Biomedical Engineering Program and the Math Biology group. His methodology includes numerical simulations and experiments, utilizing local clusters and WestGrid for computational work, as well as the Laboratory for Complex and Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow for experimental research.

James J. Feng is a Professor of Mathematics and Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia, specializing in cell and tissue mechanics, fluid dynamics, and complex fluids. His research focuses on the simulation of two-phase flows, interfacial dynamics, and the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids. He has developed numerical methods for modeling phenomena such as drop formation, jet pinching-off, and the motion of solid bodies in fluids. His work also explores the impact of fluid mechanics on biological systems, including the deformation of red blood cells and malaria parasite effects. Feng's research bridges computational modeling with experimental observations to advance understanding in both fundamental and applied fluid mechanics.
