Nanocarbon based electrocatalysts

Using microorganisms, particularly bacterial cells, as a novel precursor to synthesize heterogeneous carbon materials as electrocatalytic catalysts for key electrochemical reactions more...

Supervisor(s): Chen, Yuan (Professor)

Research on the fluid mechanics of suspensions of rigid and flexible particles in fluids

Experimental and computational work plus theoretical modelling (where possible) to predict the flow properties of  materials more...

Supervisor(s): Tanner, Roger (Professor)

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...

Indoor radar acoustic sounding a a new modality navigation sensor

Radar acoustic sounding systems (RASS) generate short acoustic pulses that are tracked by a colocated Doppler radar. They rely on the focussing effect of the expanding acoustic puls more...

Effective microwave energy based weed killing

A prototype weed killer based on microwave radiation has been developed. This device is novel in that the emitter horn is fed through a flexible coax cable, allowing the device to b more...

The modes of granular segregation

Granular segregation will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This will be a pioneering study into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of segregation. more...

Levee formation in debris flows and avalanches

Levees are a feature of many gravity current flows, yet their formation is not fully understood. This project will track their formation in laboratory scale experiments, and develop more...
