My research interests are in the following areas:
Cardiovascular modelling and subject-specific analysis, medical device design and optimisation, reduced order and probabilistic modelling, forward and inverse uncertainty propagation, surrogate modelling, information theory, and inverse problems.
The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects. There are four individual experiments (HEAT/JET/STRESS/VIBRATION) Each experiment is self contained and the student will be assessed via either: - A lab report which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. - An online Canvas assessment. All students work is scheduled in groups and individuals will carry out four experiments. The assessments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up in the week after the experiment.
This module aims to generate ability to solve the problems and explain physical phenomena on the topic of fluid mechanics. The module will cover inviscid fluids, momentum and mass conservation in viscous fluids, boundary layer flows and compressible fluid flow. The module includes turbomachinery including pumps (centrifugal and axial) and turbines (impulse and reaction).
This module aims to build on the concepts taught on stationary and flowing fluids in EG-160 (Fluid Mechanics 1) and extend the knowledge to solve the problems and explain physical phenomena that involve internal and external flows. The module will cover: (i) dimensional analysis and modelling; (ii) flow through piping networks and pump selection, flow rate and velocity measurement; (iii) prediction of lift and drag for flows over common geometries, (iv) fluid kinematics and preliminary differential analysis of fluid flow.
