Understanding of biological molecules such as proteins and viruses supports the development of modern medicines to treat (for example) cancer and viral infections [10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127524]. One...
State-of-the-art medical ultrasound technology used both in the imaging and incision-free treatment of cancers relies on mathematical models for acoustic wave absorption and dispersion in...
This project will explore fluid dynamics in multi-scale soft hollow fibres for soft surgical robots and medical phantoms which is unknown despite the advances in...
The Euler equations describing atmospheric motion can be partitioned into a stiff linear term, which governs fast atmospheric processes, and a nonlinear term, which captures...
This project focuses on understanding the complex interactions between droplets and soft surfaces during spray deposition - a process widely used in biomaterial, healthcare and...
The proposed project primarily addresses the research challenge of integrating low-carbon energy systems for sustainable and economically affordable energy conversion, storage and utilisation. Low carbon...
Synthetic objects in natural environments are often irreversibly inhabited by micro-organisms, especially bacterial cells, connected by a web of extracellular polymeric substances to form surface-colonising...
Studying fluid flow in microscale porous media of battery electrodes is crucial for optimising the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which are widely used in...
This project concerns the aerodynamic design of Hyperloop vehicles. These vehicles are designed to operate in a low-pressure tube environment (typically 100 pa) with transportation...
