Biopolymer biodegradation and lifetimes

This project will explore the fundamentals of biodegradation for a range of biodegradable polymers, both bioderived and petroleum derived. It will study the effect of factors that contribute to their lifetimes in the environment e.g. surface chemistry, porosity, additives and sorbed contaminants.

Computational Biomechanical Modelling and simulation of cellular migration in heterogeneous 3D environment

Our goal is to simulate single cell migration of tumor cells in heterogeneous 3D environments. This involves the simulation of continuum-mechanical models for the cytoplasm, the nucleus, the cortex as well as microtubules through methods based on machine learning and solid-fluid structure coupling.

Exploring the interactions between ramping wind events (fronts and thunderstorms) and wind farms

Wind power ramp events often occur when a frontal system or lines of thunderstorms pass over a wind farm. This project will explore the flow physics associated these meteorological phenomena and their interaction wind farms through meso/micro-scale simulations and comparison with wind farm data.
