Our aim is to undertake a large-scale study to improve our understanding of the impact of particulate inhalation during exercise and/or extreme environmental conditions.

A range of potential directions for this project are possible, from developing an instrumented system that “models” particulate generation from a bushfire-like system, to computational modelling of inspiratory and expiratory flow and airway deposition, to implementation of laser-based diagnostics to improve our understanding of particulate flow processes during intense breathing. We have a degree of flexibility and can tune projects to leverage on your skill and interest. This is a highly multidisciplinary project that will be running across sites. There will be up to 3-4 PhD students working on this program over the next few years and you would be one of those students.
