Fluid dynamics play a crucial role in controlling Earth’s magnetic environment. Motion of electrically-conducting fluid deep within Earth’s core creates our planet’s internally-generated field, while...
This project seeks to advance our ability to forecast the most important driver of year-to-year climate variability, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). ENSO causes...
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...
Tides between astrophysical objects are ubiquitous in astrophysics, from planets orbiting their host stars to stars orbiting supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. In many...
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...
Battery manufacturing must become more efficient to meet growing demand for electric vehicles and energy storage. This project tackles a key bottleneck of electrode drying ...
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...
