Personal statement

I am an applied mathematician with an interest in fluid dynamics, especially applied to the earth sciences. I have particular interests in non-Newtonian fluids, in flow in porous media, and in sediment transport in environmental flows. I am also interested in the inclusion of ethics and history in mathematics education, and in the school-university interface.

I am currently the Postgraduate Research Director for the department. If you have any questions about PGR matters that aren't answered on our postgraduate research page then please feel free to contact me.

In the academic year 2024-25 I am the lecturer in charge of MM146 (Mathematics in Society), MM305 (Mechanics of Rigid Bodies and Fluids), and MM554 (Applied Mathematics Methods 1). I also lecture on and lead the module "Asymptotic and Analytical Methods".

A wide range of applications in science and engineering, including fracking, oil and gas extraction, design of pumps, water treatment, continuous crystallization for pharmaceuticals, geological phenomena, settling and separation, nuclear waste storage and processing, bacterial transport, biodiagnostics, and blood and other biological flows, involve the flow, processing and transport of systems of particles suspended in fluids. Applications involve a range of scales from microns to tens of metres and a range of particle concentrations from ‘dilute’ to concentrated. There is a wide but disparate range of relevant expertise across Å·ÃÀ¸ßÇå. The aim of this one-day BTG workshop and half-day follow-up is to bring this research community together, to identify innovative ideas and solutions across these applications, and to promote novel themes for funding proposals, high-impact publications, industrial and public engagement, knowledge exchange, and CPD.
