Sufia Khatoon

I am a Postdoctoral fellow at the Advanced Membranes & Porous Materials Center (AMPM) in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) , Saudi Arabia. Before starting the postdoctoral position, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Micro & Nano-Fluidics Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi under the guidance of Prof. Supreet Singh Bahga. My research interests lie in the area of computational fluid dynamics, porous media flows, uncertainty quantification and solving inverse problems in various thermo-fluid systems.
