MSc by Research: Clustering the protein universe across the Tree of Life to enhance drug discovery
Drug discovery is the systematic process of identifying and optimizing molecular compounds to develop targeted medications for medical conditions. Read more
Numerical investigation of insoluble deposition on heated surfaces
As fuels undergo thermal stressing, they degrade and deposit on wetted surfaces which can be detrimental for the performance, efficiency and maintenance of an engine. Read more
Construction of Predictive Models for Pre-screening of Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Utilisation of novel Sustainable Aviation Fuels, as a blend or standalone replacement of petroleum-based fuels, in aviation sector is subject to a challenging, and stringent multi-stage approval process, requiring tests that exceed millions of pounds in tests, tens of thousands of liters of fuel, years of testing, and sustained commitment of resources for fuel producers.

Aviation Fuels degradation
In jet engines, aviation fuel has a secondary purpose as a coolant in addition to being a fuel. As a result, it is subject to thermal stresses that may cause fuel degradation leading to deposit build up and potentially catastrophic engine failure. Read more
Failure Prediction on Composite Aerospace Structures and Space Systems
The development of new advanced composite materials offers plenty of possibilities to implement these new structures into highly strained components and applications. Read more
Simulation and Analysis of Damage for Failure Prediction on Advanced Composite Structures subjected to Impact Loading
The development of new advanced composite materials offers plenty of possibilities to implement these new structures into highly strained components and applications. Read more
Flame and Acoustic Wave Interactions
Thermoacoustic instability is an unresolved problem in combustion devices such as gas turbine and jet engine. When the acoustic pressure is coupled with the heat release fluctuation, very strong oscillation may occur, which may even damage the hardware component to cause high losses. Read more
