Research Staff
I am a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow, currently investigating the viability of deploying nanobubbles for enhanced water-treatment processes. 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.

- Thesis title: Modelling Propulsion of Nano-Swimmers
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 dynamics
- cavitation bubble nucleation, rapid growth and oscillations, and violent collapse
- electrophoretic motion of nanobubbles/nanoparticles under electric fields
I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, visitors, and industrial/non-academic collaborators.
