My research covers high-fidelity numerical modelling of interfacial heat and mass transfer, non-equilibrium fluid mechanics, and phase change, with a special interest in cavitation. Academic Qualifications PhD University of Edinburgh 2020Thesis title: Cavitation dynamics of surface nanobubblesMEng University of Edinburgh 2016Thesis title: Modelling Propulsion of Nano-Swimmers Research Interests My research uses Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and theoretical modelling, covering interfacial heat and mass transfer, non-equilibrium fluid mechanics, and phase change, to model non-trivial nanoscale fluid phenomena, including:bulk nanobubble diffusive stability and growth dynamicscavitation bubble nucleation, rapid growth and oscillations, and violent collapseelectrophoretic motion of nanobubbles/nanoparticles under electric fields Further Information I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, visitors, and industrial/non-academic collaborators.
