曾为中国力学学会副秘书长、中国空气动力学会理事，现为中国力学学会流体力学专委会委员，力学学报、空气动力学学报、Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters编委。主要采用实验，理论分析和数值模拟方法研究牛顿/非牛顿流体，旋转流及开/闭流系统中的稳定性及层流-湍流转捩问题。对流场-温度场强耦合情况下的稳定性问题取得了一些重要成果并发表在J.Fluid Mech., Phys. Fluids, Phys. Rev. E, J. Rheology 等期刊。自Reynolds实验（1883年）以来，以管流为代表的粘性剪切流的转捩机制一直困扰着流体力学学者。我们近来在边界扰动（粗糙壁）和初始扰动诱发的转捩研究上分别取得进展，论文发表在Phys. Rev. Lett.和Phys. Fluids。
