Complex Fluids and Biological Systems at the Microscale
Applied and Computational Mathematics Group
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
University of Strathclyde
University of Strathclyde
We work on problems in applied and computational mathematics, with interests in microscale fluid dynamics, active matter, electrohydrodynamics, biological flows, and developing novel computational methods for complex fluids. Many of these problems are motivated by simple physical observations, laboratory experiments, and questions arising in soft matter and biological fluid mechanics.
We are always looking for motivated students and post-doctoral researchers to work with, and exploring new collaboration opportunities with established research groups. Please feel free to get in touch for any queries.
