This project builds on a recently established multiscale poroelastic simulation tool developed for cartilage (Figure 1) which utilises homogenisation to couple simulations of the biofibres...
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...
Heart failure post myocardial infarction is a worldwide massive burden with an anticipated prevalence increase of 46% before 2030. The main cause of heart failure...
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...
This project focuses on understanding the complex interactions between droplets and soft surfaces during spray deposition - a process widely used in biomaterial, healthcare and...
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...
This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to investigate the role of environmental contamination in infection transmission, focusing on fomite transmission (via contaminated surfaces). This...
Ventilation in healthcare environments is critical for the prevention and control of infection, however a substantial proportion of UK hospitals have inadequate ventilation. Over the...
Above Cuff Vocalisation (ACV) involves the external application of an airflow (oxygen or medical air) via the subglottic port of a tracheostomy tube (Fig.1). This...
