Control of Nonlinear Engineering Systems
The real world is inherently nonlinear. Particularly in mechanical systems, these nonlinearities arise from one or more of the following reasons. Read more
Numerical Modelling of Cracked Engineering Materials under Dynamic Loading
It is common knowledge that all existing structural materials contain various inter- and intra-component cracks and crack-like defects which appear in materials during fabrication or in-service. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
Droplet interactions with functional surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes, from preventing virus laden droplets passing through face masks to reducing the build-up of ice on the surfaces of flying aircraft. Read more
Macroscopic capillary pressure in multi-phase porous media flows
Although multi-phase flow in porous media is an established research field for decades, its theoretical background is still being developed. Read more
Green methods to revalorise wastes: transformation into sustainable materials and chemicals
This project will focus on facing the global challenge of reducing landfilling by revalorising wastes of different nature (e.g. plastic waste, agroforestry and food/drinks industry waste streams) to produce added-value materials/chemicals to facilitate energy transition and tackle greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions (i.e. Read more
Lightweight Structural Systems for Resilient and Low-Cost Housing
The legally binding UK government target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 cannot be achieved without minimizing the carbon footprint of the construction sector. Read more
Design of lightweight composite stiffened shell structures using topology optimisation
The aim of this project is to create new topology optimisation methods for the design of composite lightweight stiffened shell structures. Read more
Getting up to speed with satellite broadband
The TCP performance over satellite communications has become a well-known problem, following significant experimentation with Internet services over satellite the concept of a Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) is now widely used in current satellite systems, where a native end-to-end TCP connection is now commonly split into a series of multiple connection.

Mass transport and interaction of ions in porous media with a prospect of energy storage
Understanding the mass transport mechanisms in micro channels and porous media is key in designing many engineering processes. The aim of this project is to investigate the mechanisms of fluid flow through porous materials with different morphology considering the interactions of ions with solid surfaces. Read more
Environmental Interactions of Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) Technology (NDC)
The Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) Centre of Excellence (CoE,. https://ore.catapult.org.uk/what-we-do/innovation/fowcoe/. Read more
Optimal Design of Fibre Reinforced Composite Pipes and Umbilicals
Currently, the application of composite materials in oil and gas industry lacks proven test methodologies and understanding of technical and fundamental issues relevant specifically to composite materials and structures. Read more
Optimising the Mechanical Performance of 3D Printed Alloys Using Advanced Experimental and Computational Techniques
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a novel method of making three dimensional (3D) components in layer by layer fashion. Read more
Computational Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing of High Strength Alloys
Conventional manufacturing processes involve high cost and lead times because of design and manufacturing of product specific tooling for new materials and parts, hence making many production processes unsustainable. Read more
Fluid-rock interaction and its influence on rock mechanical properties
Rock and fluid interactions alternate the fluid flow and mechanical properties of porous material and thus play a significant role in many aspects of subsurface engineering application, for example CO2 geological storage and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Read more
Effects of flexible vegetation on oscillatory flow hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics
Coastal vegetation such as seagrass protects against coastal erosion by attenuating wave energy and demobilising suspended sediments. Read more
