Modelling of phases and interfacial behaviour to enhance sustainability in manufactured products (Ref: MA/DS-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Mathematical Sciences

Over recent years the modelling and understanding of complex phases, and their interfacial interactions, has developed at pace. Phases can be a solution of components, a mixture including colloidal particles, or different states such as in a frozen or vapour state. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Sibley

Calibration methodologies for industrial/geophysics granular materials

The University of Manchester

Department of Mathematics

This PhD project addresses the "calibration problem" in particulate continuum models and particle simulations. Specifically, it focuses on developing robust methodologies for selecting and parameterising contact models, a crucial but challenging task due to the lack of standardised measurement techniques.
