Background: Providing respiratory support to people with conditions including COVID-19 and pneumonia is an essential part of modern healthcare. Simple interventions like CPAP (Continuous Positive...
Pre-filled medical syringes (or vials) are prepared via an automated process that require drastic control measures. Indeed, during their preparation, small particles may find their...
Microfluidic devices are promising to revolutionise the biomedical industry from rapid disease diagnostics and modelling to high-throughput drug screening and assessment. Much of the engineering...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can assist in treatment planning for cardio/cerebrovascular interventions. This project involves the development of fully-automatic images-to-simulation workflows that can be...
Understanding the effect of airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s health, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency....
This is a unique opportunity to work closely with Diamond, the UK's national synchrotron science facility, to develop microfluidic tools for use on high energy...
Microfluidic devices are promising to revolutionise the biomedical industry from rapid disease diagnostics and modelling to high-throughput drug screening and assessment. Much of the engineering of these next generation devices is done through experimental approaches and analysis. However, there is considerable scope to develop, apply...
Nature and industry abound with examples of highly porous, fibrous materials embedded in a viscous fluid. Examples include the cellular cytoskeleton, scaffolds for tissue engineering,...
Coronary artery plaque build-up which can lead to heart attack is mainly caused by low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in blood stream. In addition to the concentration of LDL cholesterol, hydrodynamics of blood...
Bioaerosols, invisible tiny droplets less than 10 microns in diameter, are an important mechanism for disease transmission, as demonstrated by the current coronavirus pandemic. However, there is much we don’t understand...
