Rapid changes in pressure, such as in high-frequency ultrasound, can stimulate bubbles to nucleate, oscillate, and collapse violently, in a phenomenon known as cavitation. If uncontrolled, cavitation is a major problem in engineering, as high-speed jets can develop during their collapse upon...

Recently, we showed that the liquid friction for sliding along a solid surface can be understood using an analogy to Amontons’ laws for a solid sliding on another solid. In this experimental project, you will create surfaces with different levels of friction and adhesion to liquids and...

PhD Studentship - Physics-based Mathematical Modelling of Water Electrolyzer for Hydrogen Production
Water electrolysers are promising for hydrogen-powered grids, producing green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, and working in a pair with fuel cells or gas turbines. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that currently available electrolysers (both PEM and AEM) suffer from reliability and...

Membrane-based separation of gaseous mixtures is recognised as a low-energy and low-carbon alternative to traditional separation techniques. Knowledge of transport behaviour of different gases and liquids in new materials is of great importance for membrane separation processes, including the...

Hemodialysis (HD) is the life-saving treatment for millions of patients with end stage kidney disease, but it has several clinical and technological downsides. Its discontinuity causes poor life quality and health issues, and it is also extremely wasteful (about 500 liters of water per...
