Born Slippy: Understanding the tribological mechanisms of fertility treatments and their impact on conception

Infertility affects 186M women in the developed world, with approximately 55M attributed to tubal patency - this is a big problem! Hysterosalpingography or HSG is a diagnostic procedure that is also an effective treatment for tubal problems. Read more

Multi-Phase Fluid Dynamics of Medicines During Transit

Supervisory Team: Ivo Peters, Tim Waters. Project description. The increasing use of drones and electric bikes offers exciting new opportunities for bespoke and efficient transportation of medical products. Read more

Accelerating the Design of Patient-Specific Fracture Fixation

The design and advanced manufacturing of patient-specific biomedical implants is set to revolutionise healthcare. However, the costly design framework which is currently required to create personalised 3D digital models is a huge barrier to implementation in most clinical settings. Read more

Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows

Supervisory Team.   Dr Christina Vanderwel. Project description. Join our world-leading experimental fluid mechanics research group with this PhD studentship studying Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows. Read more

Experimental measurements of pressure gradient history effects on turbulent boundary layers

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and John Lawson. Project description. Turbulent boundary layers subjected to pressure gradients are found in a wide range of engineering applications and environmental flows. Read more

Foam Hadron Collider

Microfluidic devices involving small droplets or bubbles flowing along narrow channels are becoming increasingly important, not least in the context Covid-19 testing. Read more

Developing an algorithm for detecting placenta abnormalities

The placenta plays an important role during pregnancy by transporting nutrients to the fetus. Occasionally the placenta does not function properly, giving rise to a range of issues such as placenta accrete and intrauterine growth restrictions (IUGR). Read more

High Speed Stereo Imaging Techniques for Flame Studies

Turbulent flames are inherently 3D in nature, which demands for 3D diagnostic techniques. Digital 3D stereo imaging techniques have progressed significantly in recent years due to the advancement of digital imaging technique and computing power. 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

Experimental Investigation of Impinging Flames

Impinging flames are of interest to both the fundamental understanding of combustion phenomena and the practical applications. To understand the interaction of flame and wall will help the design of better combustion devices, improving the combustion efficiency and lengthening the life span of a combustor. Read more
