Biography
Dr. On Shun Pak received his B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong in 2008 and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, San Diego in 2013. He then continued his research as a post-doctoral research fellow at Princeton University, before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Santa Clara University 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 its applications across different disciplines. His current research interests include: low-Reynolds-number flows, biological flows, microswimmers, and complex fluids.
