Biography: 

I am Professor of Fluid and Suspension Dynamics. My research focuses on the modelling and simulation of complex fluids on microfluidic scales, for example suspensions of deformable particles or red blood cells. I am teaching Chemical Engineering in the second year. I am the Co-Chair of the University's Research Cultures Forum.

Research Interests: 

The research activities of my group are detailed at www.biofm-research.com. A list of all publications is available on Google Scholar and on the Edinburgh Research Explorer.

Research highlights are:

  • Particle manipulation and sorting in microfluidic channels (e.g., using inertial microfluidics)
  • Blood flow and blood cell dynamics (e.g., in microfluidic channels or in blood vessel networks)
  • Suspension rheology
  • Lattice-Boltzmann and immersed-boundary methods

 

Specialities: 

  • Modelling and simulation of complex fluids
  • Microfluidics, suspensions and emulsions
  • Blood flow in complex geometries and blood cell separation
  • Inertial microfluidics
  • Lattice-Boltzmann method
  • Immersed-boundary method
