research lab at the University of Edinburgh
We build bespoke modelling tools designed to answer fundamental questions about the dynamics of particulate systems. Our work is at the interface of soft matter physics and chemical engineering.
Linking micromechanics to bulk flow behaviour via particle-based simulation.
Understanding network formation and percolation in systems of attractive particles.
Encoding microscopic details into constitutive models for large-scale simulation.
Understanding the fundamentals of extrusion, milling, crystallisation and other industrial unit ops.
We have collaborated and published papers with scientists at the following institutions:
