Research on the fluid mechanics of suspensions of rigid and flexible particles in fluids

Experimental and computational work plus theoretical modelling (where possible) to predict the flow properties of  materials more...

Supervisor(s): Tanner, Roger (Professor)

Investigating mechanics of dance movement

This project aims to better understand the movement patterns and forces that dancers undergo during dance performance to inform injury prevention and teaching practices. more...

Designing new nano-structured materials for solar energy and health

While methods for making nanostructured materials are often slow or energy intensive, self-assembly of nanoscale objects promises to be scalable and low-energy and could thus propel more...

Supervisor(s): Widmer-Cooper, Asaph (Dr)

The modes of granular segregation

Granular segregation will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This will be a pioneering study into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of segregation. more...

Levee formation in debris flows and avalanches

Levees are a feature of many gravity current flows, yet their formation is not fully understood. This project will track their formation in laboratory scale experiments, and develop more...

Exploring the health benefits of dance

Adherence is a major issue when assessing the effectiveness of an exercise program. It has been suggested that dancing could be a solution to improve adherence leading to improved h more...
