In this project, we plan to investigate numerically and analytically interfacial dynamics of liquid films in the presence of additional complexities such as surfactants, evaporation and externally applied electric fields. Read more
The aim of the research is to study infinite dimensional dynamical systems with interacting chaotic units. The interactions are considered to be rare but strong. Read more
Toric Calabi–Yau manifolds play an important role in mathematical physics. Their mirror manifolds can be described by algebraic curves and recently it was observed that quantisation of these curves leads to functional-difference operators. Read more
Quantum technologies 2.0, including but not limited to quantum computing, are taking the increasingly important place both in research and industry. Read more
At present there are no effective drugs for pancreatic cancer treatment. Several molecules have been shown to be a promising anti-austerity agents, able to suppress pancreatic cancer cell lines to tolerate conditions of nutrient deprivation. Read more

The quest for novel antibiotics is an important challenge for organic chemists. Novel modifications of old bioactive cores is a central part of this quest. Read more
Society has benefitted from the continued miniaturisation of electronic components to the extent that we now take the availability of portable personal devices such as smart watches, phones, tablets and lighter, faster laptops for granted. Read more
There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).

Due to the longevity of infrastructure investments, it is critical that energy infrastructure be located and designed with future climate in mind. Read more
The current animal protein production from our global livestock agricultural system may suffice to provide minimum protein requirements to the 9.7 billion people 2050 projected global population [5]. Read more
About 38% of Botswana’s land area is reserved for wildlife conservation (Winterbach et al., 2014), providing important habitat for large carnivores and allowing for the study of intact large carnivore guilds. Read more
Although freedom of movement is a key pillar of animal welfare, and outdoor access is considered the best way to allow cats to exercise and express natural behaviours1, restrictions often apply to owned cats. Read more
Aim. Develop an ultra-thin, bio-compatible, fibre optic ultrasound instrument and a model to predict the mechanical properties of soft matter. Read more
