About me
Professor in Experimental Fluid Mechanics
Head of the department of Engineering Mechanics
I work with fluid physics from theory to applications. The problems I address range from fundamental problems such as how particles move in different flows to novel assembly techniques for biobased materials that utilises this understanding (more info via links to the right). Originally a fairly pure experimentalist, I now combine theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches to develop new knowledge. Experimental techniques that I use include synchrotron radiation, optical coherence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Teaching and learning has always been a special interest. In particular, I have worked on the integration of interactive teaching methods, open projects and online material to achieve deeper learning and increased interest in the material.
