About

My research focuses on the surprising variety of flow patterns we discover in multiphase, granular, and complex fluid flows. We study how large-scale flow patterns emerge from a combination of the microstructure of the fluid, and the viscous, capillary, frictional and gravitational forces acting on the system. Our results provide explanations for naturally occurring phenomena in geophysical flows, and helps optimise engineered processes such as soil remediation, oil and gas recovery, and carbond dioxide cature and storage.
