Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going,
there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. [Ecclesiastes 9:10]

Pursuing a simple life, I have worked on how to live with thinking, reading, writing, and presenting. No more mingling with the others. Among them, thinking is the most difficult one I can manage. Naturally, my work has been limited to my narrow imagination - you may know what I mean. To widen the border, I am trying to intentionally concentrate on the interaction between solids and fluids with one determination. Based on the knowledge in solid mechanics and applied mathematics, fluid and soils are the ones I am working on nowadays. Hopefully, the results are promising and meaningful to my students and academic societies.
